Goal
Determine whether Tagium can responsibly offer reviewed lyric suggestions for imported tracks, and which sources can legally and technically support that experience.
This is a research/integration feature request. It must not assume that API access grants permission to copy or embed full lyrics.
Sources to investigate
- YouTube descriptions
- SoundCloud descriptions
- Genius APIs or approved integrations
- Other appropriately licensed lyric providers
Research questions
Source descriptions
- Are descriptions available through the current YouTube, SoundCloud, or Cobalt import paths?
- What extra requests or credentials would be required?
- Can lyrics be distinguished reliably from credits, links, timestamps, and promotional text?
- Can useful formatting and line breaks be preserved?
- What privacy, reliability, and rate-limit implications would retrieval add?
Genius and other providers
- Does the official API expose full lyrics or only song metadata and links?
- What authentication, attribution, rate limits, and commercial-use terms apply?
- Is storing lyrics inside a downloaded MP3 permitted?
- Are there approved alternatives when full lyrics cannot be copied?
- What matching inputs are available, and how should low-confidence matches be handled?
UX and metadata
- How should users preview and approve lyrics before they are written?
- How should conflicting or multiple-language results be represented?
- Which ID3 lyrics frame and language/description model should Tagium use?
- How can users correct, replace, or remove a suggestion?
Deliverables
- Findings with links to authoritative API and licensing documentation
- A feasibility recommendation for descriptions, Genius, and any alternatives
- A proposed confidence and review UX
- A proposed ID3 storage model
- A small proof of concept only if terms and API access make one appropriate
- Follow-up implementation issues, or a documented decision not to integrate
A valid outcome is that Genius or another provider is unsuitable.
