Title: Music Lyrics
Post by: Endeavor on January 09, 2017, 04:13:02 pm

I am new to MC and am looking for basic information on music lyrics in MC; more specifically how they are included in MC and how can one view the lyrics. Any pointers would be most welcome!

If the file is a mp3 Lyrics should be saved in the "USLT" id3 tag it will also be saved in Media Centers Database

Select A MP3 With Lyrics

right click On It

Select "Tag"

If it has Lyrics It Will Show In The Tagging Window

Some Types of files do not support tags so Media center will keep the Lyrics in the database.

Thanks, KingSparta and Manfred. I will check out MiniLyrics, MediaHuman Lyrics Finder, and using a Musicmatch link.

Manfred: Could you explain your process with MiniLyrics? Is this capable of more than one track at a time? Also, I am unclear about actually getting the lyrics into MC.

TAO1857,

Nice program. Thanks!  However, when you say, "import the lyrics," does this mean selecting each song (on left) to show its lyrics (in right pane) and then importing those with "update library from tags?" In other words, one song at a time? Or, no?

UPDATE: Nevermind. I think that I figured it out.

I could not get this to work with MC 22.

a work around was to rename the MC app from Media Center 22.exe to Media Center 20.exe then the program will work with the current version.

I have sent the programmer a email about this problem.

I did the same, and MiniLyrics works fine with MC22.
Also, King, thanks for the heads up on HumanMedia Lyrics Finder.
