Word By Word Lyrics!
P.S. Reposting because I forgot to properly tag the user who originally suggested the idea in my previous post (u/Smeke23).
Note to Mods: Hey! Please feel free to review this post. This is not self-promotion, view-farming, or a commercial project. There are no ads, no paywalls, no logins, and no tracking. I’m just sharing a free web utility I built to solve a personal frustration with missing word-by-word synced lyrics for my favorite songs. if it still is against the subreddit rules then feel free to ask the post down.
I saw a similar post by a fellow Metrolist user (u/Smeke23) a few days back Post but it was lacking a lot of features I personally wanted, so I decided to build one myself.
if the video is looking way to small watch the Demo video on Youtube where I fixed the aspect ratio.
Hey everyone,
Like many of you here, I love having Word-by-Word (WbW) synchronized lyrics while listening to music. However, a lot of my favorite or lesser-known tracks only have line-by-line lyrics or none at all.
To solve this, I built a web tool called Lsync to make creating, syncing, and retiming lyrics as quick and painless as possible.
What it is & How it works
It's a free browser-based editor: https://code4nigel.github.io/Lsync/
- No login / No account required, Just open it and use it.
- import & Search: Import lyrics directly via LRCLIB or paste manually
- similarly import audio file manually or preferred version use YouTube links, no need to offline download the songs (it automatically grabs the title & artist)
- Sync & Retimer: Easily stamp word/line timings, or use the Retimer tool to shift existing out-of-sync `.lrc` files forward/backward by milliseconds without starting over.
- Export Options: Supports standard Line-by-Line (`.lrc`), Word-by-Word (`eLRC`), `.json`, `.txt`, and `.doc`.

A Request / Proposal for the Metrolist Team
While Lsync allows downloading `.lrc` files or copying WbW code, it would be amazing if Metrolist could support these workflows natively:
- Community Submission Integration: Provide an option within Metrolist where users can submit or upload custom Word-by-Word synced lyrics (e.g. to LRCLIB or a community database) so once a user syncs a song, everyone using Metrolist gets to enjoy it.
- Local LRC File Loading/Caching: Or, add a way for Metrolist to locally save/assign custom `.lrc` files to a track in the app so users don't have to manually load custom lyrics every time.
Feel free to try it out if you have songs with missing synced lyrics!
I hope this help a fraction of those fellow metrolists who love WbW lyrics just like me.
