1. Pick up a song to which create your
super LRC

2. Using a text editor like Notepad or
TextEdit, open a new text file.
3. Add the song title: Put it between
square brackets [Like this] and add
the letters “ti:” before it. A song
entitled “Song” would have the
first line: [ti:Song] You can use
spaces between words; for example,
a song entitled “ Azonto'' could look
like: [ti:Azonto]
4. Add the artist name: Put it [Like
this too], and add the letters “ar:”
before it. An artist named “John
Lennon” would have a tag look like:
[ar:John Lennon].
5. Add album’s name: It should have
the letters before it “al:” and so an
album named “Album” would look
like: [al:Album]
6. Add any other important
information: This includes the
name of the file’s creator(you) as
[by:Your name here] and the
composer’s name as [au:Author] .
(There are some old players that
wont read this extra information,
though.)
7. Add the lyrics and timestamp:
Timestamps will let the MP3 player
know where to stamp the lyric line.
It will show minutes, seconds and
hundredths of a second, followed
by the lyric line. It will look
something like: [01:26.03]Some
lyric line (01 indicates the minute
in which the lyric is displayed, 26
indicates the number of seconds and
03 the number of hundredths of a
second, you can leave this last
number blank if your are not
interested in being that precise). Try
to play the song while you are
doing this job, to keep track of
what you’re doing, and pause it as
the lyric lines come on to get the
time-data.
8. Save as an *.LRC file: Click on
your text editor “File” and select
“Save As“. Name the file after the
title of your song, (you may need to
include the track number) select “ All
Files” from the drop-down menu
just under that and change the
default “ .txt” to “.lrc” It’s very
important that the name of the LRC
files is the exact same as the music
file it corresponds to, but with the
extension “ .lrc“.
9. Load those two files onto your lyric
compatible mp3 player.
10. You’re done! Cheers!
At the end, the file will look
something like this:
[ti:Let's Twist Again]
[ar:Chubby Checker oppure Beatles, The]
[au:Written by Kal Mann / Dave Appell,
1961]
[al:Hits Of The 60's - Vol. 2 – Oldies]
[00:12.00]Line 1 lyrics
[00:17.20]F: Line 2 lyrics
[00:21.10]M: Line 3 lyrics
[00:24.00]Line 4 lyrics
[00:28.25]D: Line 5 lyrics
[00:29.02]Line 6 lyrics
…etc.
Quick tip: The M: and F: will show (in
some MP3 players) the female voices and
the male chorus!
