Lyrics
Rmpc supports displaying synchronized lyrics in the Lyrics
pane.
Other lyrics formats are not supported. The lyrics_dir
must be configured for the resolution to work. All lrc
files
must be on the client side.
Lrc file resolution
Lrc files are resolved by rmpc via two methods(in order):
- Same path as the song file, except with the
.lrc
file extension - By indexing all the
.lrc
files in thelyrics_dir
Lyrics index
Rmpc will create an index of all .lrc
files in your lyrics_dir
on startup. Lrc files can contain metadata about
the song which they belong to. These metadata can include artist(ar), title(ti) and album(al) as well as length.
Artist
, title
and album
have to exactly(case sensitive) match in song’s and lrc’s metadata for the song to match.
If the lrc file contains length
, it is matched to song’s length plus or minus 2 seconds.
Same path as the song file
Following examples assume that your MPD’s music directory is set to /home/user/Music
.
-
If your
lyrics_dir
is set to the same path as MPD’s music directory/home/user/Music/artist/album/song.flac
will try to resolve/home/user/Music/artist/album/song.lrc
-
If your
lyrics_dir
is set to a different path, ie./home/user/.lyrics
/home/user/Music/artist/album/song.flac
will try to resolve/home/user/.lyrics/artist/album/song.lrc
