[REQ] Lyrics from LRCLIB? [#16494]

[pandaeye0]

Hi, I am not new to the software but has just upgraded. I am not sure if this has been asked before, but is there a plan on including LRCLIB as a source of lyrics?

lrclib. net

Generally additional sources are left to Addon developers.

There is a related request for this though: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=16494

Hmm... this looks very interesting as many of the lyrics are synced. If no addon dev looks into this, I think synced lyric support would be a great new feature for MMW!

Thanks!

Thanks for considering the suggestion. Apart from synced, it appears that this source has a better archive on chinese songs which are not on the other existing sources. And open source plus open contribution as well, if that matters.

Dear Dev, I finally got the MM2024 installed after its release. After some testing on lrclib (a few songs so not exactly sure), I notice that even if the song has synced lyrics, MM returned the plain lyrics. Is it possible to check the code to see whether it is the case?

The relevant API document is appended for your ease of reference:

https:// lrclib. net/docs

Example request

Codice: Seleziona tutto

GET /api/get?artist_name=Borislav+Slavov&track_name=I+Want+to+Live&album_name=Baldur%27s+Gate+3+(Original+Game+Soundtrack)&duration=233

Example response
200 OK:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

{
  "id": 3396226,
  "trackName": "I Want to Live",
  "artistName": "Borislav Slavov",
  "albumName": "Baldur's Gate 3 (Original Game Soundtrack)",
  "duration": 233,
  "instrumental": false,
  "plainLyrics": "I feel your breath upon my neck\n...The clock won't stop and this is what we get\n",
  "syncedLyrics": "[00:17.12] I feel your breath upon my neck\n...[03:20.31] The clock won't stop and this is what we get\n[03:25.72] "
}

An example is given below:

https:// lrclib. net/search/%E5%A4%AA%E9%99%BD%E6%98%9F%E8%BE%B0
(Cantonese song, sorry if the encoding mess things up, but it demonstrate the idea)

Naturally I would like MM to return synced lyrics by default and plained lyrics otherwise.

Hi,
Have you moved lrclib.net to be first on Lyrics search list in Metadata Lookup Options?

Uh...no, I was not aware of that option and I can try changing it. But I am pretty sure that no match can be found on any other sources (had run lyrics search for the whole library in previous version and no match, which is not surprising as mine are mostly cantonese songs). And as I watched the status bar, the lyrics was displayed when the status bar last stopped at lrclib.net.

Hi,
If you prefer synced lyrics, you should tweak lyrics search a bit.

Also keep an eye on latest betas from viewtopic.php?t=86639&sd=d it is new feature so expect tweaks

Sorry I don't understand. Do you mean I can already change setting in build 3082 to default getting synced lyrics, or do I have to wait for later version?

Hi,
Synced Lyrics is added into Alpha 3101 build from link I sent you.
