Basically, you could use this Powershell-Code:

```auto
# Run in MP3 folder
$shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
$folder = $shell.Namespace((Get-Location).Path)
$folderItems = Get-ChildItem -Filter *.mp3 | foreach { $folder.ParseName($_) }

# 0 Name, 1 Size, 2 Item type, 13 Contributing artists, 14 Album, 15 Year
# 16 Genre, 20 Authors, 21 Title, 27 Length, 28 Bit rate
$properties = 0,1,2,13,14,15,16,20,21,27,28

foreach($item in $folderItems)
{
    $fileMetadata = @{}
    foreach($property in $properties)
    {
        $name = $folder.GetDetailsOf($folderItems, $property)
        $value = $folder.GetDetailsOf($item, $property)
        $fileMetadata.Add($name, $value)
    }
    [PSCustomObject]$fileMetadata
}

```

You can find the values for the properties list here:

**UNFORTUNATELY** , there is no (yet known) property and # for lyrics.  
If you find a column name in your Windows File Explorer where you can see the lyrics, I could find the number for it.
