I have made the field called unsyncedlyrics, but it looks like it is only usable manually? Is it not possible to auto download lyrics in mp3tag for each file?

There are web source scripts available to look for lyrics:

> Mp3tag v2.39 or higher required Finds song texts and saves them to the UNSYNCEDLYRICS field (official ID3v2 field). [How do I install the script?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/2748/1) / [Wie installiere ich das Script?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/2749/1) Search for lyrics on different sites! Note: Darklyrics only has songs from Metal bands and to use it properly you must select all files of an album and you'll get all songs at once.

But they work on a track-by-track basis.
Foobar2000 has plug-ins for lyrics that look for all the selected files in 1 go and some also find synchronized lyrics.

All of these references are over a decade old. I did try one website which wasn't working, but there is continual talk of 'scripts'? What do I do with a script and which one still works as I see many people stating most don't anymore?

Occasionally, I use a script for musicmatch which works most of the times.

I found an old program called Foobar and have had good results with that so far 🙂
