skidmarks 188 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Would be great to see lyrics (even just embedded) at this point... There are many quick and painless ways one can go about embedding lyrics into their music files. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a lyrics provider can ever be found that doesn't want a huge subscription price the ground work would already be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diedrich 355 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 +1 I have a son who loves when we have a dance party, this would be great for him to not only dance to the music but also learn the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of subscription services that provide this info but they are expensive. If anyone finds a free source of this info or knows of a tool that can be used to retrieve this data let us know.

Carlo 4330 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Agree Spaceboy. But the question remains, does anyone know of any sites that have this info we can legally get at reasonable cost personal or company wise? That's the first hurdle.

skidmarks 188 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) I've taken a little break from the forums... i looked everywhere on the interwebs for a cheap (free) provider. There isn't one. Obviously i cant reach out to these people for pricing as i have no affiliation with emby, i have no idea what the subscription rate is here, or what the business model is. What is cheap? Bottom line is, again, the first step should be reading lyrics already embedded in music files. That IS cheap! And very simple for end users to add said lyrics. I would also pay for this ability... Edited December 29, 2020 by skidmarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 For $10K I can get this done for you as I know a guy. LOL, kidding aside can you PM me over a file or two with the lyrics already embedded? I don't have any and would like to take a look at a couple of files. Do you have any?

pwhodges 1523 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I am amused that the download for the program which just searches for lyrics is ten times larger than that for the program which is also a full-featured tag editor, image finder, CD ripper, codec converter, etc. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyrics finderhttps://www.mediahuman.com/lyrics-finder/ Mp3nityhttp://www.littlelan.com/mp3nity/downloadpg.php Since all song lyrics are copyrighted material I'm pretty sure no free source of them would be legal. So, Emby obtaining the lyrics for you is probably out of our scope for right now. However, it would be valid for us to read tags out of your media files and display that text somewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Not a lawyer of course but I think this falls under fair use clause of copyright just as sheet music would be which usually also include the lyrics. But if the lyrics are already part of the music as tags and we're already pushing for 100% tagging outside of Emby for music it's quite logical that the user is responsible for bringing the lyrics and Emby only display them.

pwhodges 1523 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 NB: To the best of my knowledge even the copyright regimes that allow "reasonable use" fail to define it - so there is scope for legal arguments to arise, which can be very expensive. In academic circles, figures like "no more than 5%" get bandied about for "fair use" - so 100% of the lyrics would be considered well outside the likely acceptable range.

Carlo 4330 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Oh agreed for sure and why it's better for Emby to only display this info and not fetch it as ebr mentioned. It seems very easy to add the lyrics with 3rd part utils and is quite fast as well. It's actually easier then tagging I think. Anyone wanting lyrics could easily retrofit their music with lyrics outside of Emby and be good to go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8 69 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 How do I enable the lyrics function? I have mp3 files with embedded lyrics but i don't see any button to show them and they don't show automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1523 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 There is no lyrics function in Emby. Cayars is saying that the above suggested third-party programs can quite easily add lyrics to the files (and that Emby should not undertake this because of copyright), and that it would be a good idea for Emby to be able to display lyrics if the files contain them - that would require development, though, and adding to the schedule of improvements already in progress.
