Unable To Save Both Unsync and Sync Lyrics For Some Flac Files about atldotnet

[Zeugma440]

Hey there,

• Annihilate has its metadata inside an ID3v2 tag, which contains both synch SYLT and unsynch USLT lyrics ✅

• Numb has its metadata inside Vorbis tags. But the Vorbis tagging system doesn't have two different fields to store lyrics; it just has the LYRICS field for unsynched or LRC-formatted lyrics

=> We have two options there

1/ When writing to Vorbis or MP4/M4A tags, override unsynched lyrics when you set synched lyrics (which are richer by definition). They will get saved as LRC lyrics inside the dedicated field.

2/ Add a Setting to force ID3v2 tag creation when there's none inside the file

Any preference/suggestion?

I guess nunber 1 would be best. Could we add a property to LyricsInfo maybe called SupportsBothUnsyncAndSync that we can set per tag type that way i can customize the UI based on whether a file supports both or not...

Not sure that's where you want to go, knowing formats with a single lyrics field can very well support either of them (i.e. text block for unsynch or LRC for synch).

In terms of UI, I'd give the choice between Synched or Unsynched, but not give the option to edit both at the same time. Who wants to edit synched lyrics that contradict unsynched ones anyway?

Yeah that's true too....we'll go this route then
