Feature request: Other sources for lyrics (Genius and AZlyrics)

[Jippt355]

There is this one song which i downloaded with somedl from this link
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=TQrXDnDlufE&si=2RrqxdTtF-8opVNf

When it downloaded, there was no lyrics. If i search for lyrics on google, i find lyrics for the song on Genius at this url:
https://genius.com/Sherman-out-of-time-lyrics

Would adding support for fetching lyrics from Genius and AZlyrics be plausible for the project? It could be a fallback, so you have 4 sources for lyrics and it takes the first one (prioritizing Genius or the current main source of lyics)

Does AZlyrics even have more lyrics than lrclib? For genius, they seem to have the most complete catalogue. Accessing that is the difficult part, i use their "unofficial" api endpoint genius.com/api that does not give you the lyrics (i just use it to check if singles belong to any album). There is a python module called lyricsgenius that does give you lyrics. It states that it needs an API key, i'd have to test if it works without one. For lyrics they most likely rely on webscraping anyways, so it could work without an token. I'd have to test. If it works i'll add it in a future update. Cant exactly say when tho, currently my time is limited and i'm working on a web-ui as well.

If thats something you're into, you can also add the lyrics you are missing to lrclib yourself, the data there is crowdsourced. You can use https://lrclibup.boidu.dev/ for that. If you do, just make sure all the data is correct, especially title, artist name and duration (for duration the actual duration of the downloaded song, not the music video). You don't need to add synced lyrics if you don't have them. Of course that's not a general solution for SomeDL, just a sidenote.

I don't actually know if AZlyrics has more than lrclib. I understand, i hope it could work and it is added sometime in the future (no need to rush).

For contributing to lrclib myself, this is what i got from Genius. Should i include the [Intro: 424KP] tags when submitting it to lrclib?
[Intro: 424KP]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

[Verse 1: 424KP]
Find it hard to let people in, I got these habits
I came up from nothing, so I ain't got no baggage
To be real, I'm torn on the thought of living lavish
Maybe not the suits, I still want cars in the garage
I know if I give in, then the devil gon' be laughing
Every day I rest, my competition could be passing
I look in the mirror, is it worth it? Got me asking
I just keep on having

[Chorus: 424KP]
Conversations with the demons that's inside of my dome
I'm ignoring all the messages that come to my phone
I been staring at Medusa, 'cause my heart turned to stone
I try staying on my path, 'cause all the roads lead to Rome
They say that I'm a lost soul out here tryna make it right
Gone before the morning, I don't stay the night
So forget about me, out of mind, out of sight
Out of drugs, out of white, out of love, out of line

[Verse 2: SHERMAN]
I've been waking every day to my calling
Moving side by side, I've had my own back
Through all the broken pieces, baby, I'm restoring too
Can I really find the balance? Am I pulling through?
I, can't nobody tell me no
Hate it when they tell me to be patient, waited
I've been seeing a lot of shit, I know I sound delusional
Pour the Henny with the cola when I'm losing hope
I need hunnid more bands, that's a minimal
I've been moving cautious, I ain't no criminal
Puddles and puddles, I'm feeling like I'm in the mud
Bottles on bottles, but I'm the diamond in the rough
Fuck feeling comfortable, I'd rather just be moving up
Forgotten how to loosen up, oh
[Chorus: 424KP]
Conversations with the demons that's inside of my dome
I'm ignoring all the messages that come to my phone
I been staring at Medusa, 'cause my heart turned to stone
I try staying on my path, 'cause all the roads lead to Rome
They say that I'm a lost soul out here tryna make it right
Gone before the morning, I don't stay the night
So forget about me, out of mind, out of sight
Out of drugs, out of white, out of love, out of line

[Verse 3: SHERMAN]
I've been breaking all the rules
All the different shit to prove
Now I really got no time to waste
Put the money in the bank
Set my family straight
Fuck the drama
Cash out on the table, no debates
Don't be switching up random
If I say I got you, then we know we all good
What's understood?
Don't need no talking
All these bitches, they got no clue, no clue
Pop down on it
Doesn't matter where these bitches go
I just want my money long, they can't ride along
Pop down on it
I've been riding through the city, it's subliminal
Phone ringing, four seasons, more reasons
Don't be barking at me, making up your own reasons
I've been shooting for the stars, how can I trust you? Oh
[Chorus: 424KP]
Conversations with the demons that's inside of my dome
I'm ignoring all the messages that come to my phone
I been staring at Medusa, 'cause my heart turned to stone
I try staying on my path, 'cause all the roads lead to Rome
They say that I'm a lost soul out here tryna make it right
Gone before the morning, I don't stay the night
So forget about me, out of mind, out of sight
Out of drugs, out of white, out of love, out of line

I think those can be left out. Never seen them on lrclib lyrics.

[Jippt355]

For the artist name do i put SHERMAN alone? And for the song title do i just put "OUT OF TIME" and not include "feat 424KP"?

[ChemistryGull]

Good question. I've seen both, for many well known songs there are multiple entries, some having the featuring in the title, some at the artist, some don't anywhere. So pick what you prefer basically. I am not exactly sure how strict the lrclib API is when lookin up songs, but the more it matches the YouTube title and artist the better (=more likely for the lyrics to actually show up with SomeDL) I would assume.
