Generates .lrc files for your music library

This script scans your music library (mp3, flac, m4a, ogg, opus) and using the song data (artist, track name and duration) fetches and generate a lrc file spreading the lyrics uniformly across the song's length.

There is also an option to generate a txt file containing only the lyrics without the time tags.

The generated files are stored in the same place and using the same name of the original audio file. song_01.flac -> song_01.lrc

Execution

1. Install python 3
2. Install Scrapy - pip install Scrapy
3. Install Mutagen - pip install mutagen
4. Execute: scrapy runspider lyrics_fetcher.py

The script will look for all files below it, so assuming a structure like Documents/Music/Artist/Album/song.flac:

• if you execute the script from the Music level it will fetch the lyrics for all songs (all artists and albums) that are contained in the Music folder
• if you execute the script from the Album level it will fetch the lyrics for all albuns of that artist
• if you execute the script from the song.flac level it will fetch the lyrics only for that album

Debugging

Sometimes the URl built from the data in the audio file does not match the actual url used to host the lyrics, in this case you will probablly observe a 404 error associated with the url in the terminal output, it should be possible to debug most of the issues with this info.
