How can I save lyrics into file as UNsynced?

[tralph3]

Basically, title. I discovered you can add the timestamps for synchronized lyrics with Music Bee, I've been using an externall app all this time. Thing is, when I want to save the lyrics to embed them, they are saved as "synchronized lyrics" (logically). However, I would like for it to save them as "unsynchronized lyrics" because that way there's a lot more music players that recognize them and can use them accordingly (Phonograph comes to mind). I can manually move the lyrics from synced to unsynced but it would be easier if I could configure it to automatically save it into unsynced. Thanks.

You have to download unsynced lyrics. Synched lyrics typically have a .lrc extension while unsynced lyrics typically have a .txt extension.

Or you can use a text editor and remove the time-stamps from what you've downloaded. A much more tedious task than simply finding lyrics that are unsynced.

The only site I'm aware of that has synced lyrics is Mini-Lyrics. For which a MB plugin exists.

I don't use synced lyrics, so this is only a guess... If you put lyrics with time-stamps in the unsynced tab, they will (might) be treated as unsynced. You'd have to remove the time stamps. In the synced lyrics tab you have to have the time-stamps. But I don't know how you can tell MB which to use when embedding.

If your other players don't recognize time-stamped lyrics, you're going to have to make a choice which you want to use. MB can't embed one and sync the other.

You could use Mp3tag (or probably the Advanced Tagging and Reporting Tools plugin) to quickly copy the values from the SYNCHRONISEDLYRICS tag to the LYRICS tag.

Check the priority for your lyrics in the other players.
Unsynched lyrics are stored in .txt files and synched ones are stored in .lrc files.
The player must be preferencing unsynched over synched.

I know in Musicolet I had to give .lrc files priority if both .txt and .lrc files existed.

I think you guys aren't exaclty understanding the problem here.

What I do now, is simply cut the lyrics from the synchronized lyrics tab and paste them into the unsyncrhonized lyrics tab. This is a 10 second workaround, but an option to have them stored as unsyncrhonized WITH THE TIMESTAMPS would be easier.

I understand what you're doing now, and offered a way to do it automatically in a few seconds for as many tracks at a time as you like.
 
I don't think your request will be implemented, because it's opposite to how every other user would expect it to work. Sometimes you just have to settle for the easiest workaround.

This isn't a fix but a sort of work-around and maybe worth your while trying..
MB sees lyrics as unsynced IF any of the [  ]  brackets around the album artist or album name are MISSING!

I'm not in a place to try it out for you right now, but I'm sure that this is the case!

What do you mean with this? In the lyrics tag there's only lyrics, there's no field for artist or album name.

If you look at one of your embedded LRC synced lyrics in the tracks Lyrics tag, the first lines of text is normaly something like:-

[ti: Nothing Else Matters]
[al: Metallica]
[by: Freddy]
[offset:-3000]

[00:00:00]

MB will see this as synched and treat as such - if one bracket is removed, it will be treated as unsynched..

Try it and see if the results are as expected!
