Download Lyrics

mp3Tag supports all popular audio formats: MP3, FLAC, APE, M4a, WMA, OGG etc. Most of them have special fields for storing lyrics and cover art.

If tags of your audio files contain correct information about artist, title, and (optionally) album, mp3Tag can easily find lyrics for the files.

Open Lyrics' window either from the main menu ("Show lyrics"), or by pressing "Ctrl" + "L" on your keyboard. Select the audio file that you want to fetch lyrics for and click this button in the lyrics' window:

After a while, some text will appear in the lyrics' window:

For the most popular sites, mp3Tag uses templates to extract lyrics, so the resulting text will be quite clean. However, in most cases you will get some header and footers. You can remove them directly in the lyrics window.

Templates can be activated in the "Options" menu.

If for some reason you would prefer to download lyrics from another site (for example, you may hope that another site will deliver more readable text, as mp3Tag supports quite a number of templates), just click the "Next" button (highlighted on the screen shot above).

To download lyrics for a group of files, select all the files and click . mp3Tag will automatically fetch and save the first result for each file.

The trial version of mp3Tag fetches only 50% of lyrics. Furthermore, updated templates are available only for registered users.

If your files don't contain any information about artist, title, and so on, you can extract the information from filenames, or download it from FreeDB or Amazon.

Save Lyrics

To save the lyrics inside the audio file, click "Save" in the main window:

Alternatively, you can save lyrics as an external text file. In the lyrics window, click .

Lyrics can be freely edited, so it is possible to employ usual editing methods: insert lyrics from the clipboard, from a text file (click in the lyrics window), manually. You can also drag and drop a text file to the lyrics window.
