Lyr

Download and embed lyrics from multiple sources.

Sources

• AZLyrics
• Genius
• JahLyrics
• Musixmatch

NOTE: Genius currently has an issue where there will be missing newlines between section headers, so the output may look like:

[Verse 1]
Foo
Bar Baz
Qux
[Chorus] # Notice this header immediately follows the last line of Verse 1

Not sure how to fix this as of now.

Usage

Fetch and print the lyrics to stdout:

$ lyr --artist="2Pac" --title="Changes"

Try to get the artist and title from the tags in the file:

For the list of supported files see lofty-rs.

# NOTE: This will add the lyrics to the tags of the file
$ lyr --input="some-music-file.mp3"
# Use the `no-embed` flag to prevent this
$ lyr --input="some-music-file.mp3" --no-embed

Output the lyrics to a file:

$ lyr --artist="2Pac" --title="Changes" lyrics.txt
