Hello, I copied manually lyrics as a test in UNSYNCEDLYRICS field of one mp3 file. I can now see the lyrics scrolling when this mp3 is played. On other mp3 files already tagged with lyrics when I bought them, I have another possibility : when I tap on the cover, I can have the full text displayed instead of the cover. How can I get this possibility when I enter the lyrics manually ? I have the lyrics of many mp3 in .txt files : is there a way to import them automatically to the UNSYNCEDLYRICS field of the matching file ? For example I have blabla1.mp3 and blabla1.txt ? It seems it is possible but it is not clear to me. Many thanks for your help. ---

What kind of player is this? Normally a player that shows lyrics scrolling synchronous while playing needs a special tag-field calle SYLT (Synchronised lyric/text). The tag UNSYNCEDLYRICS is not meant to have informations that make a player show synconous text. There is special software that helps to create SYLT-tag-informations like [https://www.compuphase.com/software\_sylteditor.htm](https://www.compuphase.com/software_sylteditor.htm) I think the features you mention are special features of your player and maybe the player does not get the informations shown from the tags but from an online source? ---
