How To Export and Import Lyrics

As you can read within the Mp3tag export script, ... the parameter list of the $filename function shows it, ... the file to be created will be a DOS command file having the file extension ".cmd".
At end of creating the export output, then the user will be asked to execute the just created command file.

In case of the offered DOS command file will be executed, this process creates a new text file, which holds the exported text from the tagfield UNSYNCEDLYRICS in the same layout as it has been stored before within the tagfield UNSYNCEDLYRICS.

There may be no need to modify the target text file, ...
unless the USLT language ID has to be changed.

So you are saying all i needed to do to import was to use the files as they were created.

I used the Actions Quick menus Import as follows:


Yes, this should work.

While that DID work. When I cleared my iPad and resynced the new directory folder. The lyrics came out double spaced in the iPad. Not sure why? I have been in contact with the developer of StageTrax on the iPAD. Seems somethig was not quite right. I got around the problem by opening iTunes, selecting GetInfo>Lyrics. I then did Ctrl A, Ctrl X, Ctrl V, then NEXT from the lyrics windows. After an hour, I had successfully replaced the lyrics tag in iTunes. Then a clear and resync to the Ipad and launching StageTrax, All Displayed As It Should Be.

Go figure......

"In computing, a newline, also known as a line ending, end of line (EOL), or line break, is a special character or sequence of characters signifying the end of a line of text and the start of a new line."

The exported lyrics text has the MS-DOS/Windows EOL character sequence "carriage-return, line-feed" (CR-LF) at end of each line, ... which works good in a MS-DOS/Windows environment, ... but maybe not in other computer environments.
On Apple/Unix systems the CR-LF sequence will create two line feeds.

For Unix you may run an additional Mp3tag action against the imported lyrics text, which replaces all CR characters with nothing.
UNSYNCEDLYRICS <== $replace(%UNSYNCEDLYRICS%,$char(13),$char(0))

For Apple you may run an additional Mp3tag action against the imported lyrics text, which replaces all LF characters with nothing.
UNSYNCEDLYRICS <== $replace(%UNSYNCEDLYRICS%,$char(10),$char(0))
