Title: random results with lyrics tag
Post by: johnnie on July 18, 2017, 06:03:47 pm

I thought id found the solution of showing lyrics when a song is played using the lyrics tag. however i have the strange thing that obscure artists like amon duul display lyrics but huge bands like beatles stones etc. show nothing. is there a setting i need or does the lyrics tag only work on specific artists.

In MC, [Lyrics] is not auto-populated. If the metadata for your files contain lyrics data, MC will use it. If not, you will need to source the lyrics data manually and paste into the lyrics field for the tag inside MC, which will subsequently (by default) write those lyrics to your files.

thanks for the reply. I understand what you are saying. So is there a plugin to display lyrics?

You could take a look at MiniLyrics (www.crintsoft.com/). I've used it for a few years and it tries to auto dl synchronized lyric files (.lrc). It auto-starts when I open MC, and I have it scroll the lyrics across the bottom of the screen, though you can choose other layouts & styles. It hasn't seen much recent development and is kind of hit-or-miss on lyrics, but you can make your own sync'd files & optionally upload them for others to share.

You could also use MediaHuman Lyrics Finder - pick up a folder -> let MediaHuman Lyrics Finder find the lyrics-> select the album and all tracks of the album in MC. Then go to Library Tools->Update Library (from tags) in MC and all songs get lyrics (if found by MediaHuman Lyrics Finder).

mini  lyrics doesn't appear to work after MC20
However I tried Human lyrics finder and it appears to work. I even tried an artist folder with sub folders of album titles and it picked them all up in one go, very impressive.
Do you know where and how the lyrics are saved?
