[FIXED] Lyrics Not Displayed?

Post by hsmoke » Mon Jul 28, 2014 10:15 am

Hi,
One of the main reason i bought this app is the lyrics display feature.
unfortunately i have problem with this, some/many of the lyrics is not showing up.

Example:
I have one album (folder) :
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 01 - Shindo-kaku.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 02 - Rewrite.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 03 - Kimi no Machi.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 04 - My World.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 05 - Yoru no Mukou.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 06 - Last Scene.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 07 - Siren.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 08 - Re Re.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 09 - 24Ji.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 10 - Mayonaka to Mahiru no Yume.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 11 - Kaigan Dori.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 12 - Loop & Loop.flac

ID Tag example :
Artist : Asian Kung-Fu Generation
Title : Shindo-kaku
Album : Sol-Fa

I have one lyrics folder :
01 Shindo-kaku.lrc
02 Rewrite.lrc
03 Kimi no Machi.lrc
04 My World.lrc
05 Yoru no Mukou.lrc
06 Last Scene.lrc
07 Siren.lrc
08 Re Re.lrc
09 24ji.lrc
10 Mayonaka to Mahiru.lrc
11 Kaigan Dori.lrc
12 Loop & Loop.lrc

Neutron player only displayed lyric for the song :
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 02 - Rewrite.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 04 - My World.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 05 - Yoru no Mukou.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 06 - Last Scene.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 07 - Siren.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 09 - 24Ji.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 10 - Mayonaka to Mahiru no Yume.flac
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 12 - Loop & Loop.flac

Copied the LRC files to the song folder but it's still have the problem.
It works fine on PC though.

Recently i copied the LRC files for Linkin Park album "The Hunting Party", none showed up.

Please help.
Thank You,
Hari

Hi...all my lyrics work this way. The lyrics file and song file have the same name.
01 Name.flac
01 Name.lrc

I put them in the same directory (1 for each album). You can choose the option in Neutron to look for Lyrics in the current directory. This way should work the best I think because I have about 600 LRC files and no problem at all. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your suggestion. It's not solved my problem (lyrics still not displayed), but i'm able to figure out the root problem : make sure the lyrics tag is exactly the same as the music (mp3/flac) tag, even a space could make the lyric not displayed.

Example :
Music tag :
Artist : Linkin Park
Title : A Line In The Sand
Album : The Hunting Party

Open LRC files with notepad, it's generally begin with paragraph like this ...
[ar: Linkin Park]
[ti: A Line In The Sand]
[al: The Hunting Party]

While it looks like exactly the same (it works on PC), Neutron player is not able to recognise the lyric because there is a space between ":"
Edit it like this ...
[ar:Linkin Park]
[ti:A Line In The Sand]
[al:The Hunting Party]

Now the lyric displayed on Neutron player :)

It's the same reason I came to Neutron.

Is it also possible for Neutron to look for lyrics that don't have exactly the same name as the audio file?

For example, my audio files are usually named
%artist% - %album% - [%disc% - ] - %track% - %title%.ogg
The lyrics files I get through foobar2000 + foo_uie_lyrics3 or MiniLyrics are named
%artist% - %title%.(lrc|txt)
and are located in the same folder.

So, in this case the search is based on audio tags instead of the file name.

Thank you very much for noticing it! It is fixed and since next update whitespace will be ignored (bug), so LRC will be found as expected.

In such situation the only possibility to have fields

[ti:X] - title
[al:X] - album
[ar:X] - artist

matching the corresponding track. Neutron is using these fields only if filename has no match.

Thank you for your answer. This is great news. So, if I understood you correctly, for the lyrics I have, I have to set
[ar:X] - [ti:X]
and no need to specify the lyrics extension (lrc or txt).

Where do you set this? I couldn't find it.

In the lyrics file itself at the beginning. Personally I don;t use this method I just have the files have the same name.

Well, thanks for the answer, but this seems to become a circular problem. How can Neutron MP find the lyrics files associated to a song if the lyrics file has a different file name than the audio file, but the lyrics file is formatted %artist% - %title%.(lrc|txt)

Does it scan all the potential lyrics files for ar and ti tags inside and decide to make associations? For what I've noticed, this doesn't seem to be the case.
