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
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.
LRCGET author here, I’m really sorry to hear about this issue. Could you let me know which platform you’re using (Windows, Linux, or macoS)?
