LRC files sync with your music player and display the lyrics for the song you are playing. These files are simple text files that contain time stamps that dictate when the lyrics appear. You can download them from the internet or even create your own if you can’t find one. Follow this guide to learn how.
Steps
Search for the LRC file you need. Since LRC files are no longer in common use, there aren’t many places left to download them. Your best bet will be entering the song title followed by “lrc”. You can also search by artist.- Use the advanced search tag
filetype:lrcto only return search results that are LRC files.
- Use the advanced search tag
Save the LRC file to your computer. If the file opens as just a text document, click your browser’s Menu or File button and select Save Page As. Switch the “Save as type” menu to All Files, and save the file to your computer.Advertisement
Move the LRC file to the right location. The LRC file will need to be in the same folder as the song, and will need to have the exact same filename. If the LRC file is not named exactly the same, then it won’t be loaded by the media player.
Create your own LRC file. If you can’t find the LRC file that you need, you can create your own using Notepad or TextEdit. You will need to input time tags yourself, which can become a little tedious, but the result is a custom lyrics file that you can proudly call your own.
Find a plugin that’s compatible with your media player of choice. There are several options available, and most of them work with all the most popular media players. These plugins have libraries full of lyric files that are updated constantly, and you don’t need to mess with downloading and renaming LRC files. Some of the more popular programs include:- MiniLyrics
- EvilLyrics
- musiXmatch
Run the plugin with your media player. Installation is different for every plugin, but generally the plugin will run automatically when you load a song. The plugin will search the database for a lyrics file that matches your song and display it for you.
Add your own lyrics. If the song you want to play isn’t supported by the plugin, add your lyrics to help the community grow. Simply put the lyrics in a text file and upload them to your plugin’s library. The process is a little different depending on the plugin, so check the documentation for your software.
