    Note: For each song, the first time using Best Match will take about 10 seconds. Please be patient.

  • Or open the lyrics search window to manually search for the correct lyrics.

The lyrics search window can be opened in one of the following ways:

  • Move the mouse to the lower area of the window until the bottom control bar appears, click the More button (ellipsis) on the right, and then select "Manual Lyrics Search".
  • Right-click the software icon in the system tray and select "Lyrics Search Window".

Go to Settings -> Playback Sources > Disable Lyrics Timeline Sync or increase the Lyrics Timeline Sync Threshold.

How to set up local lyrics sources? ​

Step 1: Add Folder Go to Settings -> Media Library, click the Add button, add the folder where you store lyrics (or music files containing embedded lyrics), and ensure the switch on the right is set to "On".

Step 2: Prepare Files The software supports two methods:

  1. External Lyrics Files (.lrc/.eslrc/.ttml) When comparing, the software does not distinguish word order and automatically ignores punctuation.

    • Recommended Naming: Artist - Title.lrc
    • Also Supports: Title Artist.lrc
    • Also Supports: Title (Live) - Artist.lrc
    • Example: When playing Taylor Swift's "Love Story", the filename love_story_taylor_swift.lrc can also be accurately identified.

  2. Embedded Lyrics If lyrics are already written into the tags of your local music files (.mp3/.flac, etc.), the software will also automatically read them.

We recommend the following ways to check music file tag information:

  • Music Tag: Browse local song metadata.
  • If Step 1: Add Folder is completed, go to the BetterLyrics Music Library and click the three dots icon (···) on the right of a music entry to show parsed metadata (may differ from actual info).

To ensure smooth matching for the Embedded Lyrics method, the following tools are recommended:

  • Music Tag: Batch write all metadata into local music file tags.
  • LDDC: Batch write verbatim lyrics into local music file tags.

Partial garbled text in lyrics ​

This is usually a default font setting issue. Go to Settings -> Lyrics Window Management -> Lyrics Style -> Font Family -> Select Arial to get the most stable display effect.
