The time tag must be in the form [mm:ss], [mm:ss.xx], or [mm:ss.xxx] where mm is
minutes, ss is seconds, xx is tenth of milliseconds, and xxx is milliseconds. Any other
tags and lines without time tags are ignored.
Location of lyrics files
The plugin checks the following directories for lyrics files.
1. The directory containing the audio file and its parent directories.
2. For each of the above directories, the plugin searches for a subdirectory named
“Lyrics”.
3. Finally, the plugin will search as above, but within a directory called “/Lyrics”.
The name of this directory can be customized, see below.
If the audio file currently playing is
/Music/Artist/Album/Title.mp3
, then the fol-
lowing files will be searched for, in this order.
.ext
is one of the supported extensions
from the list above, and will be searched for in the same order as in that list.
/Music/Artist/Album/Title.ext
/Music/Artist/Title.ext
/Music/Title.ext
/Title.ext
/Music/Artist/Album/Lyrics/Title.ext
/Music/Artist/Lyrics/Title.ext
/Music/Lyrics/Title.ext
