Hello. Could it be possible for MP3Tag to have a field for Syncronized Subtitles and to give the Players to play the lyrics as karaoke subtitles also from inside of audio files?
★ Here is an import export action, which I have made for me for the field UnsyncedLyrics, which can be changed to SyncedLyrics
Copy lrc.mte to AppData\Roaming\MP3Tag\Export.
Copy \*.mta files to AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag\data\actions

Hey, this is awesome. It can **import** lyrics from lrc and txt files without issue but I am having a hard time **exporting** the lyrics from my music files.
.
All 4 files in your guide are at the recommended folders and I am using the installable version of Mp3tag v3.22b

Works over here.
So what is your problem exactly?

It isn't exporting the files, it imports perfectly but just can't seem to export, I don't know why. as you can see here:

If you export data from a file to an external file, then no tag fields in a file get changed. So the message is correct: 0 out of 31 files got their tags formatted.
Also, as you create new files, none of the existing files got renamed. Which is correct.

But no lrc file or txt files are being created on my end.

Where did you look for the export file?
It can usually be found in the current working directory (which is not necessarily the folder of the current file).
You see the name of the working directory in the MP3tag window title

Amazing.
Then edit the export script and set an absolute path to a folder that you can watch and see whether a file appears.
As I said: works over here.
You would have to perform the export for each file individually, though. You can tread 31 files in 1 go but you would have to split the resulting single file into several others afterwards.

Wow, now that you say it, there's a huge file with all the lyrics combined in that single file. So basically the issue was that I had to do it one at a time for export whereas it was possible to do all at a time for import. My bad.
1. Can we edit the script to do multiple files at the same time without having to split?
2. If not, can we split using some automated tool? too many songs over here lol

See e.g. here:

> Sometimes there is the need to export text content from the ID3v2 tag-field UNSYNCEDLYRICS (USLT) to disk file. Mp3tag by its report feature is able to export tag-field data from one to many selected media files. Given by design of the Mp3tag export feature, there can be created only one output file for all envolved input media files. Today with Mp3tag v2.51 there is no chance to export tag-field data from a group of media files into one assigned external text file separately for each media f…
(the search function in the forum us usually a real helper)
I found this thread with the search words "split lyrics"

Found an awesome tool to do multiple files at once without needing to split or anything: [Feature Request: Batch Export Lyrics into Individual Files (.txt / .lrc)](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/feature-request-batch-export-lyrics-into-individual-files-txt-lrc/57158)
