@gargamel17 Is reading embedded lyrics is supported by android , is there any media api for that ?

[sosauce]

@tuuhin I've search but it doesn't seem like it, need to find a library for that

[tuuhin]

I don't think music files have embedded lyrics on it, some may have but not all So, you can't directly show lyrics You can check a third party Api like lrclib to get the synced lyrics by querying track name and artist name.

Music files have embedded lyrics if user previously add them. Player should just display tags content

Musics do have embedded lyrics, sadly not easily supported by Android. I also stand for not connecting my app to the internet

[tuuhin]

Yup I agree that music files have embedded lyrics but not all music files have And it's hard to read then directly, and on the fact that you aren't connecting your app to the internet This feature will be very tough to implement

[sosauce]

Some other apps have it, I'll find a library 💪

Also support for .lrc lyrics as well would be nice

Also support for .lrc lyrics as well would be nice

This should be easier so I'll try fit it in in v1.4

[realeatham]

If you want I can send some .lrc and .mp3 files for some songs for testing

Thanks ! But I have the necessary already It's just that I have an internship so I don't have much time to work on it at the moment 😿
