Fixing LRC timestamps / synced lyrics for live tracks / updating albums

I really enjoy listening with synced lyrics (still would prefer them next to the full album instead of the single song so I don’t have to close/open the window all the time…), and I caught some tracks with wrong timestamps (all local tags in my FLAC files).

I finally created a small Python program to automatically fix that, and is has some neat side effects:

  • it can turn plain text lyrics into synced lyrics
  • it can sync lyrics to live songs
  • (obviously) it fixes off-sync lyrics from slightly different releases

As you can imagine, I have now run this across a large number of albums, and I need to manually do “Edit - Rescan Album” A LOT - it would be really great to be able to do that through the API. Any ideas appreciated.

And yes - I’ve ran this over hundreds of tracks by now, it works really well!
