Description Christian Weiske 2016-07-26 08:55:45 UTC

Amarok's lyrics view displays lyrics stored in amarok's database.

mp3, ogg and wma files allow lyrics to be stored as meta data tags in the files itself. Amarok should read those lyrics tags and show them if the lyrics in the database is empty.

MP3's ID3v2 has two tags:
- unsynchronized lyrics - USLT tag - http://id3.org/id3v2.3.0#Unsychronised_lyrics.2Ftext_transcription
- synchronized lyrics - SYLT tag - http://id3.org/id3v2.3.0#Synchronised_lyrics.2Ftext

ogg/vorbis files may have a LYRICS tag (as written by kid3, http://kid3.sourceforge.net/)

Please import the lyrics from those meta data tags.

Reproducible: Always

Please test current Amarok 2.9 beta, this should work since quite some time.

FWIW: this is a duplicate

I removed the "see also" links as those refer to Amarok 1.x, which was a totally different codebase
