Go in foobar option, you will see Openlyric, expend it and you have a sub option, (im not sur of the exact tab, not at home) you can set  it to save to tag, save with original file, save to custom path.

Ok, I got foobar2000 installed with OpenLyrics and downloaded a few lrc's. One question, how did you customize the save path so it would save the lrc's next to the music files?

Yep, thanks! Works great. Doesn't find every song of course, but it's finding quite a few. Do you get the missing ones from anywhere else?

Go directly to that part of the song - like a chapter.

The feature will come to that platform, yes.

@Luke it looks like OpenLyrics is a good and reputable option to get lyrics. Can you add a function to automatically download lyrics from OpenLyrics?

The lyrics are new, so yes, I believe so. I just downloaded lyrics for songs well past 2012. I'll check on 2021 songs.

LyricFirnder appears to a good option to write txt files.

Tested a little with mp3tag but a slow process as you have to do tracks one by one embedding lyrics.

@Lukethese lyric files will have to be with media, correct?

I used OpenLyrics on a few 2021 songs and it found the lyrics. Seems it's still a valid source for lyrics.

These are scripts that scrape the web for the information.  End users can use at their own discretion but we cannot integrate that kind of thing into Emby.

All I see there is a specification for a file format.  I don't see any sort of repository of lyrics.  Songs (and their lyrics) are copyrighted material pretty much all the time.  Not sure how we could distribute them commercially.

Ok, so I think I understand this now. OpenLyrics is a foobar made plug-in. The plug-in (foobar2000: Components Repository - OpenLyrics) calls multiple free sources to pull in lyrics. Just browsing their release notes the sources I see are: QQMusic, NetEase, and DarkLyrics. From the DarkLyrics site (Dark Lyrics - metal lyrics archive) I also see AZLyrics (AZLyrics - Song Lyrics from A to Z).

It seems DarkLyrics and AZLyrics might be the best bet. I don't know anything about these and haven't reached out to them, but it appears those would be the sources to connect to. It appears that multiple audio players like foobar have written their own plug-ins to pull from those or similar sources. Or, maybe you can just reach out to foobar devs and they'll give you their code.

@mbarylski

I dont think you will find a real legit free way to get this for an app like emby. 

exemple for Dark lyrics, emby cant use that :

Well that's interesting. Wonder how foobar is doing it then. Oh well. I guess we can just download the lrc's using foobar. 

@Luke Do you have lrc support added in the private beta?

Cool, I'll check it out. And you can auto download the lyrics files?
