Description of Issue

I wanted to add the lyrics to a song that Roon doesn’t provide lyrics.
I followed the guide, but the result is not as it “should”.

So, after adding with MP3tag the “LYRICS” tag, the results are a mess.

First of all, here is the actual lyrics added.

After adding and rescanning I get this results:

  • The icon appeared next to the song
  • but the lyrics don’t appear on the 3 dots options

I checked how are the lyrics displayed on playback, but instead of the whole lyrics, here I have only 3 lines of lyrics!

Is this a bug that needs to be fixed or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Dimtiris,

I just purchased that track from Bandcamp and will take a look at it today. I am a fellow user like you so it will probably be later tonight before I have the time to work on it.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Dimtiris

It is important to copy the text into a notepad or notepad++ to make sure there are no hidden markers that can mess things up.

I bought the file, and followed my directions step by step and it worked fine for me. Remember to click Next track right before the line starts, or, just after the sung line and before the upcoming line.

I generated the file using my instructions three times (it is hard to get music you are unfamiliar with right the first time and I tested by listening to the finished track though.)

Also, make sure your lyrics match. In your case, there was a repeated section that you need to repeat or else things can get muddled. You only had one of those sections.

[04:29.39]Unwanted, left alone
[04:33.29]Starving, rotting, screaming
[04:37.64]Until the silence comes
[04:42.76]Leaving the flesh
[04:47.10]Where's the drink of life
[04:51.94]Help me to find the well
[04:57.50]Blood from the core
[05:02.86]Lifeblood turns to death

[05:07.70]Unwanted, left alone
[05:11.73]Starving, rotting, screaming
[05:16.57]Until the silence comes
[05:21.41]Leaving the flesh
[05:26.53]Where's the drink of life
[05:31.13]Help me to find the well
[05:35.72]Blood from the core
[05:40.43]Lifeblood turns to death

Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks man. I appreciate it.
The thing is, can you use the one that I have pasted on the OP? Is this working for you? If not, what could it be its problem and how can this be fixed?

I didn’t try your file actually. I started from scratch to make sure the directions were correct. I will give your file a go later and see what happens.

Any updates on this my friend? Did you have the chance to check this out?
