From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Recommendations for an Offline Music Player That Supports Synced Lyrics (lemmy.ml)

Hi folks,

Recently, I started to listen to music locally instead of using streaming services because I have had enough of all the annoying parts of it. I gathered a lot of Opus and FLAC files that have lyrics embedded in them. I am searching for some music players that can display them. The one I am using right now is Elisa. It is awesome, but I would still like to know if there are more alternatives, just in case. Thanks!

It is not a dumb question at all. I asked my self the same question a few months ago. You are correct. It is essentially just metadata. You can embed them with something like kid3 directly into the music file it self. So for example I have a .lrc file(the sync lyrics file). It will look something like this:

[00:16.60]Through your terribly fragile heart.

[00:24.70]Even the secret of the red fruit is, "I'll give it all to you.

[00:32.90]Even though I'm still hurting your leaky heart

[00:40.50]I still see your dream

[00:44.00]A person whose beauty that can’t be achieved whose beauty can’t be achieved…

[00:51.80]I want you to love me, I want you to love me ...

U can just copy the text in the .lrc file and then write it into the music file with a lyrics tag with something like kid3. If u open the music file with a music player that supports it, u will get synced lyrics. The process is quite tedious to do manually, so I made an app to download audio from YouTube videos and embed the subtitles as lyrics to do it for me (yes, this is a shameless plug). If you are interested, you can check it out. Azul box
