Mediamonkey to insert lyrics - General questions

Post by BlackTornado »

Hello

I'm a new user of Mediamonkey, and I started using it for his versatilty in tag management. Anyway, I still can't obtain what I need, so I'm asking help.

I have a big collection of music (200+ gb), .flac and .mp3 files, and I want to save the lyrics into all the files.

Actually, I downloaded Minilyrics, which does the job for .mp3, but not for .flac files.
It is too slow also, because I have to listen at least part of the song.
So, first question: is there a way to let MediaMonkey auto skip songs after 5 seconds? (so Minilyrics has the time to save the lyrics, but I don't have to skip the next track manually).

Since Minilyrics doesn't save lyrics in .flac files, I was thinking about let it save the lyrics into the same folder of the song, and then write a script or something to "copy" the content of the .lrc file into the "lyrics" field of the tags (both mp3 and flac).
How can I manage this second part? Does a script like this already exist, or, if not, how can I learn how to make one?

Obviously, if you just know a better or easier way to do this, I'll be happy to know it (something like: download this program and it will do it for you instead of use Mediamonkey, Minilyrics and varous scripts).

Do you mean it's possible to take the lyrics files generated by minilyrics and embed it in the flac files themselves?

I thought that flac files don't support lyrics.

If you know how to do that I'm interested too.

BTW would minilyrics be able to use these lyrics once their embedded inside the tracks?

Thank you.

MediaMonkey can save lyrics to FLAC files themselves: http://www.mediamonkey.com/sw/webhelp/f ... erties.htm Lyricator can retrieve and save them.

Awesome!

Just two little things I wonder.

1) If I use Lyricator to find and embed this files, will Minilyrics be able to pick them up and display them?

2) Can lyricator find .lrc lyrics?

Ah that's too bad.

Thanks for the answer tho.

It's a shame minilyrics can't embed the lyrics inside flac files. :(
