If you self host music and want synced lyrics
If you self host music and want synced lyrics
Utility for mass-downloading LRC synced lyrics for your offline music library. - tranxuanthang/lrcget
So I self host all my music via Plex and for some artists and albums Plex (via Plex pass I believe) pulls lyrics and can show you like Spotify etc but some artists are not supported/popular. I found a couple apps that 'worked' to download lyrics but the best one was this https://github.com/tranxuanthang/lrcget
Just thought I would share for others who would want to do the same I have a large library and adding lyrics was not hard at all and found most out of the gate. If you have other solutions I would love to hear about them maybe they are better lol
It adds the file as same name in same folder that song is located
For my CLI homies, there's syncedlyrics.
Be advised: several Subsonic servers (including gonic and Navidrome) do not support lyric files unless they're embedded, and syncedlyrics will only put the lyrics in .lrc files. So getting lyrics in clients can be a two-step process: download the .lrc's, then run a script to embed them in the song files. I've seen a script to do the latter, but I haven't tried it. I'll send a patch to gonic to read lrc files, during the Christmas holiday most likely.
just found out there is an "Experimental" setting for it to "Try to embed the lyrics to the track files when possible" setting have not tried it myself
I tried it but in my case it set all the MP3s to 0 bytes. Luckily, I was able to get them back through snapraid. But then I noticed something in snapraid where I needed to run a sync.
What I didn't see is that it set all the FLAC files to 42 bytes, so they didn't get restored when I checked for 0 bytes filea, which means that it synchronised all those 42 byte files.
So I just lost all my FLAC files. I can't be mad at the dev, it's an experimental feature. This is just a word of warning for others to do a proper backup before you try it.
No docker? :(
Nope. This is not my project I was simply looking for solutions I used the appimage myself
Looks like it's intended to be used interactively from your desktop.
I've slowly been tagging my music collection and synced lyrics is something I've been very eager to add.
I've wanted something like this for a long time, thanks for sharing
Are you using musicbrainz picard to tag your collection, or something more manual?
Yeah, Picard has been great. Long ago, I did a first pass where I dumbed my whole collection in, scanned and then just hit save. I got rid of any of the files that had a (1) or (2) and so on at the end of the file name, cleared out most of the duplicates.
I've since been sorting one artist at a time, but making sure the tagging is more cohesive, and not have some songs, for example, split between a compilation/greatest hits album and the original.
I've tried using beets in the pasted, but it either glitched or I didn't set it up right, but it created a lot of duplicates of things. I found it a lot more tedious to use, too.
For those on Jellyfin, there's a plugin that can pull lyrics from lrclib. Not sure how it exactly compares to this, but it works for me.
Just ran this on my entire music library of 73000+ songs. Worked like a charm.
