`.lrc` lyrics?

[duckfromdiscord]

I've noticed the Subsonic protocol supports lyrics. I have a couple .lrc files lying around that I'd like to add to gonic to complete my music collection, especially with certain streaming services considering paywalling lyrics. My suggestion is to have the .lrc file have the same name as the audio file, minus its extension and plus .lrc. An example using the folder structure in the README:

music
├── drum and bass
│   └── Photek
│       └── (1997) Modus Operandi
│           ├── 01.10 The Hidden Camera.flac
│           ├── 01.10 The Hidden Camera.lrc
│           ├── 02.10 Smoke Rings.flac
│           ├── 02.10 Smoke Rings.lrc
│           ├── 03.10 Minotaur.flac
│           ├── 03.10 Minotaur.lrc
│           └── folder.jpg

The .lrc format is super easy to deal with, it's just plaintext with timestamps. There are some optional tags at the beginning of lyric files, check out the Wikipedia page for a good list.

are there any subsonic clients that support lyrics?

I use iSub and it has a lyrics window, that's how I found out about it.

I wish Subsonic had a time-synced lyrics thing as well so I could truly push those .lrc files to their limits, but that's a question for Subsonic, not this repo 😂

I am planning on adding it to Supersonic in the near- to mid-future. Feishin (Sonixd's successor) supports lyrics but not the Subsonic API yet, I think it's waiting for OpenSubsonic

Just seeing this, Symfonium support them too, We need to extend OpenSubsonic API to support songId to getLyrics to have this properly added to Subsonic. Will make the API request later.

This OpenSubsonic thing is cool! I wonder if I could ask about timed lyrics there.

[Tolriq]

The lyrics are returned as is, so if they have the offsets they will be synced on the clients if they support it.

[duckfromdiscord]

Perhaps the timings like [00:00.00] should be removed by the server if the lyrics are being sent to a client that doesn't support them

[duckfromdiscord]

I could go through each of my .lrc files with a regex that removes them, and output them as .txt files, seeing as my client obviously doesn't support the timings anyway.

OpenSubsonic RfC for lyrics API improvements is up opensubsonic/open-subsonic-api#60

[duckfromdiscord]

This is amazing news!

I see the lyrics API has the label "In production" which means this can be worked on now?

Is there a .lrc parser for Go?
