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

    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)?
