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:

  1. How can I add any lyrics to my songs so the web client will display them?
  2. What formats would you recommend sticking with? (TTML, ELRC, SRT, YAML, LRC, or even TXT)
  3. Is there a way to automate adding lyrics in bulk (instead of tedious manual work)?

    I use beets to add synced lyrics to my library automatically.

    To display them in the web browser interface, click the lyrics button (looks like a book).
