Has this changed recently? See #84 for a discussion where I specifically changed everything to use "UNSYNCED LYRICS" by default because that's what fb2k would internally translate to store in the USLT ID3 frame.

Can you confirm that fb2k stores "LYRICS" tags in USLT but not "UNSYNCED LYRICS" on the latest version?

for Vorbis as I have set it stores in SYNCEDLYRICS for Synced Lyrics it stores in LYRICS for UnSynced Lyrics

I checked. fb2k does indeed (in v1.6.7) store the "UNSYNCED LYRICS" tag in the USLT frame for mp3 files. In formats such as ogg and flac which use Vorbis comments there is no special handling or structure for tags, they're just key-value pairs of utf8 data (https://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html) so no particular values are better or worse than any others there.

In short: there is good reason to keep the current defaults (as openlyrics's settings UI actually explains) and there is no reason to change them for Vorbis files.
