Awesome, following your suggestions worked!

I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019, so no Windows Store here (or other W10 bloatware apps, forced updates, telemetry BS).

I ran your batch file after change my "set dir" path to:
   "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\MusicBee\InternalCache\Lyrics"

It worked great and musicbee lyrics figured it out whereas before it didn't (perhaps things improved after upgrading MB to latest version and clearing lyrics cache).

I didn't know about the "Redo Search" feature to cycle lyrics providers for the best match.

However, I did figure out the neat "Now Playing" Lyrics thing a while ago (my setup is [Left Side] Album Art only / [Right Side] Lryics)

I'm curious if embedding the lyrics into MP3 increases the file size much, I'd imagine it's simply plain ascii text so small footprint.

It seems the LyricsReloaded plugin can batch embed -

Thanks for sharing your providers list / order and Lyrics Google Search tip on the Internet prefs panel. I added the <Artist><Title> fields which will prove useful for my taste in world fusion and eastern underground music.

Thanks again for sharing!

Awesome and much thanks for that; I added Lyrics Fetcher and now can enjoy the "whole enchilada" with MusicBee!

Although there is night and day difference in terms of improvement from before, I did notice that some of the Lyrics seem cached from before and incorrect.  Is there a way to clear them?

For example -  a google search for "black pumas colors lyrics" begins with "I woke up to the morning sky, first..." by Source: Musixmatch and even if I set Musixmatch first in MusicBee Lyrics provider it loads completely wrong Lryics (beginning with "Kiss me once just once...Well, you think it's love or something close").  I disabled all else too still no dice.

I guess I have to tinker with it some more.

I'm curious what your Lyrics providers list looks like?

Here's mine:

@sveakul thanks, that worked a treat.  After adding the LR plugin .dll to %ProgramFiles(x86)% I just had to go to edit preferences | tags 2 and enable a few other lyrics providers in the list.

Questions / Latest Musicbee 3.3.7115 - Lyrics hit & miss with properly tagged library

« on: August 13, 2019, 11:01:39 PM »

What's recommended for getting lyrics to work best in Musicbee?

I've seen something about Lyrics Reloaded but I'm using what comes installed in Musicbee by default.

I tried updating to the latest version but it's still hit and miss.

My library is properly ID3 tagged and I'm playing top 100 tracks for rock, metal, punk, blues, etc. here (not expecting miracles on obscure lyrics in otherwords)...

Honestly I was hoping for better results out of the box.  

I've been a fan of MusicBee for years (before that MediaMonkey and before that back in the days Winamp)...

Thanks again!
