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’ve slowly been tagging my music collection and synced lyrics is something I’ve been very eager to add.

    I’ve wanted something like this for a long time, thanks for sharing

      Are you using musicbrainz picard to tag your collection, or something more manual?

        Yeah, Picard has been great. Long ago, I did a first pass where I dumbed my whole collection in, scanned and then just hit save. I got rid of any of the files that had a (1) or (2) and so on at the end of the file name, cleared out most of the duplicates.

        I’ve since been sorting one artist at a time, but making sure the tagging is more cohesive, and not have some songs, for example, split between a compilation/greatest hits album and the original.

        I’ve tried using beets in the pasted, but it either glitched or I didn’t set it up right, but it created a lot of duplicates of things. I found it a lot more tedious to use, too.
