[feature request] enable loading of unsynced lyrics in txt files

[hlinden]

Currently, my favourite(tm) lyrics tool writes synced lyrics as .lrc and unsynced lyrics as .txt.

I'm no developer, but if I read it correctly, the logic here should already handle unsynced lyrics just fine. Would it be possible to just add ".txt" to the list of file extensions here and be done with that, or am I overlooking something?

Hello! Yes it should work but afaiu you should already have your lyrics loaded by lms thanks to the .lrc files?

I have a mixture of synced and non-synced lyrics in my collection. .lrc are the synced ones, .txt are the unsynced ones. This is the default naming convention for LRCGET, so I'd assume other people have the same situation.

Other players I'm using like Tauon and Jellyfin work fine with that, so I would prefer not to rename the unsynced lyrics to .lrc and therefore make them indistinguishable from the synced ones, at least in a simple way.

So, if it's really just adding ".txt" to the file suffixes that are parsed, it would be nice if you could do so. If that implies more changes that I don't see right now, then, forget it, I'd just write myself a little maintenance script that moves txt to lrc regularly.

My bad I thought your software was saving both versions for the same track.
Yes it is definitely possible to parse txt files for lyrics.

This now works exactly as expected in v3.63.0. Thank you very much!
