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/

  1. No login / No account required, Just open it and use it.
  2. import & Search: Import lyrics directly via LRCLIB or paste manually
  3. similarly import audio file manually or preferred version use YouTube links, no need to offline download the songs (it automatically grabs the title & artist)
  4. 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.
  5. Export Options: Supports standard Line-by-Line (`.lrc`), Word-by-Word (`eLRC`), `.json`, `.txt`, and `.doc`.

Tutorial on Youtube

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

🎵 Introducing Scrobby - A Glassmorphic Last.fm Scrobbler for Chromium Browsers (Free & Open Source!)

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project I've been working on: Scrobby.
It’s a beautiful, premium, and feature-rich browser extension designed to automatically track and scrobble your music playback from YouTube MusicSpotify Web Player, and YouTube Videos directly to your Last.fm profile.

USE IT IF YOU LIKE.

✨ Core Features

  • Stunning Glassmorphic UI: High-fidelity dark mode with fluid liquid transitions, custom scroll-state switching gestures, and animated tabs.
  • Universal Media Controls: Play, pause, skip, shuffle, and repeat your music directly from the extension popup.
  • Active Shuffle & Repeat Badges: Real-time indicators that glow in Last.fm Red (for shuffle active) and Spotify Green (for repeat playlist) with a custom overlay badge for repeating a single track.
  • Recent Scrobbles Replay Button: A dedicated button next to your listening history items that instantly redirects your player tab to load and replay that exact song.
  • Hover-Out Screensaver Mode: When your mouse leaves the popup, all controls fade away seamlessly to display the full, unobstructed album cover art.
  • Smart Auto-Correction: Automatically strips promotional noise ([Official Video](Remix), etc.) from video titles and syncs with Last.fm's database.
  • Zero-Config Direct Login: Log in securely using your Last.fm username and password directly in the extension. No developer API setup required!
  • Local Listening Charts: Dynamic bar charts displaying your top artists and tracks over the last 24h, 7 days, 30 days, or all time.

Why is it on GitHub and not the Chrome Web Store?

I am currently a student and couldn't justify paying the $5 Developer Registration Fee required by Google to publish extensions on the Web Store right now. Because of this, I'm hosting the code completely free and open-source on GitHub! You can download and install it manually in under a minute (instructions below).

How to Download & Install (Takes 1 Minute)

Since it's not on the web store, you load it as an "unpacked extension" (completely safe and standard):

  1. Go to the GitHub Repository: Scrobby
  2. Click the green Code button at the top right or go to release tab and select Download ZIP.
  3. Extract the downloaded .zip file on your computer.
  4. Open your browser and navigate to the Extensions page:
    • Chromechrome://extensions
    • Bravebrave://extensions
    • Edgeedge://extensions
  5. Turn ON Developer mode (the toggle switch in the top-right corner).
  6. Click the Load unpacked button (top-left corner).
  7. Select the folder you extracted (the one containing manifest.json).
  8. Pin Scrobby to your toolbar, log in, and start listening!

Scrobbly : LastFM scrobbling Extension (Discussion)

So i am developing an Chrome extension for personal use so that I can Scrobble my YTM web app scrobbles to LastFM without any issues.

I am just curious how many of you also want some kind of this like its such annoying thing that YTM don't provide by default ability to link to LastFM

for moderators : this is just a showcase and discussion. I haven't published the extension its for personal use for now. So i am not promoting it But if it is still against subreddit rules then let me know.
