Automatically add lyrics to your MP3s (for iTunes)

iTunes has a very cool feature of writing lyrics into MP3 files, so that you can read the lyrics while listening to your favorite song in your iPod. But the only problem is that iTunes store doesn’t provide lyrics, just like the way they provide album art. You’ll have to manually fetch lyrics for each song and add it. It’s time consuming and painful, especially if you have a large library.

EvilLyrics is a great work around for this problem. All you have to do is download EvilLyrics and turn on this feature from Evillyrics’ Preferences > Advanced > Other settings > Add lyrics tag in iTunes. Now run EvilLyrics along with iTunes.

Whenever a song is played, EvilLyrics will automatically write the lyrics into the MP3. You can view lyrics either directly from the EvilLyrics window, or from iTunes or iPod.

PS: Happy Diwali to all TechBuzz Readers

    Cool! I already use Tunesleeve for getting the album art. This would complete the tagging.

    I downloaded this a while ago. I never knew there was a checkbox to make it copy automatically. I was just doing for the songs I really wanted the lyrics for. Thanks.

    Here is the exact message:
    About this Potentially Unwanted Program
    Name: Adware-PornKings
    Location: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\nsw5136.tmp\ExtractDLL.dll

    McAfee didnt remove it now that I see it. Make sure to remove it.

  • Lance

    Kaspersky says it’s fine. Your only problem is that you installed McAfee. Awesome program, thanks for the tip.
