Tagging Tools - Missing Lyrics

[bigfire]

The function to display songs with missing lyrics only reports a small number of files that match this criteria.
Even after selecting the option to "Mark as having no lyrics", the songs still don't get reported. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

not worth to do this. tracks marked as having no lyrics won't be reported as tracks with missing lyrics (because they *must not* have lyrics).

Set up an auto-playlist with the criteria Lyrics? has no value.


You can also set up a Highlighting Rule with the same criteria and select a color. Then when in Track View you'll see a visual clue that the tracks don't have lyrics. Mine are red (seen at the left)

Or in Album View there's a red triangle at the upper-right of albums that have tracks missing lyrics.


You can use one, the other, or both.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm not sure what the difference between "must not" have lyrics vs. No Lyrics is.

I was able to get the results I expected using the Auto Playlist suggestion.
"Lyrics" Must Has No Value (vs. "Lyrics?" Has No Value)

What is the difference in matching between Lyrics vs. Lyrics?

"Lyrics" contains the lyrics. "Lyrics?" tells you whether there are lyrics in the Lyrics field. "Mark as having no lyrics" means lyrics don't exist for that track, i.e. it's instrumental - MusicBee won't try to find lyrics for it when it comes up in the player and so on, and won't report it as missing lyrics.

Thanks for the clarification.
