Download .lrc files without having to redownload music

[drvnprgrmr]

Requested Feature

I'd used spotdl in the past to download some albums but back then I didn't care too much about the config. I'm using it again now and I really like the download lyrics feature. The problem is I want to download lyrics to the albums I previously downloaded (I've made necessary changes to the config) but I can't seem to be able to without having to download the whole thing again.

Possible implementation

Possibly, while running checks to see whether the music has been downloaded previously, you can add some additional checks to see if lyrics are also contained?

In v4.1.5 you will be able to generate lrc files for already existing files with spotdl meta

for example: spotdl meta . --generate-lrc

Okay, when is that going to be released?
