With v0.63, audio streamer Navidrome finally got full lyrics support. I just wanted to try it out and fell flat on my face because… well, not even the official docs say anything about lyrics. Also, I’m not too familiar with how lyrics are added to songs in general. So my questions are these:
- How can I add any lyrics to my songs so the web client will display them?
- What formats would you recommend sticking with? (TTML, ELRC, SRT, YAML, LRC, or even TXT)
- Is there a way to automate adding lyrics in bulk (instead of tedious manual work)?
Anyone know a good way to automatically tag audio files with lyrics? Like how mp3tag pulls data from musicbrainz and tags tiles in a few clicks.
Beets with the lyrics plugin is good, it can use various sources. It embeds the lyrics in the file directly and prioritizes synced lyrics. It will look for the lyrics every time new music is imported into the library. However, this might mean using beets more extensively when managing your music library. lrcget may be more suited then.
I used this and it did exactly want I wanted, great tool. Thanks!
