If you self host music and want synced lyrics (github.com)

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.

Damn... I am so sorry I know how much it sucks to loose a music collection it's happened to me before. Hope you can rebuild your collection.
