Can I ask for the details of how lyrics download and sync? I've been playing with this for a few weeks now and I'm seeing inconsistent results. Note: I'm fairly new to MM (6-8 months maybe?) and until recently I'd never used the lyrics feature, so I'm not sure exactly how it should be working.
My environment: MMA Pro 2.0.0.1080 on a Pixel 6a phone, MMW 5.0.4.2690 standard running on Windows 10. I have an extensive MP3 collection in Windows, with lots of hand-edited tags. (I'm a little OCD, so I've put in a lot of work over the years to get them right, using Mp3tag.)
I discovered the lyrics feature on MMA 2 just a few weeks ago, so I started downloading and editing them there on some of my playlists. After syncing, I was pleased to see the lyrics show up in MMW, and I can also see them in the original MP3 files in Windows.
So, my questions:
First, editing text is kinda difficult on the phone, so I'd like to transition to editing them on the Windows side, in MMW. I also just today discovered the magnifying glass icon to initiate a search/download. However, the changes don't seem to be syncing back to my phone. I'm assuming the sync should be bi-directional, but is that correct? Are there settings to control this?
Second, are the lyrics stored only in the MP3 tags, or are they also stored separately in the MM database? I'm trying to figure out why I can see them on the Windows side but they don't get pushed over to MMA. I see them in the "UNSYNCEDLYRICS" tag in the MP3 file. Is that a clue?
And third, what site(s) are used for the lyric search? I've run into at least one song where the search is successful from MMW, but from MMA it fails. Again, are there settings to control that?
Thanks,
Steve
