I have a huge music library (see
) and love reading/singing along to synced lyrics when I play music.
I even create and sync lyrics for songs that I like which do not have lyrics available online.
On my desktop I'm using MusicBee to create/sync/edit lyrics, which are then stored as .lrc files beside the songs they belong to.
On android I've been using Plexamp so far, which is also able to display external lyrics from .lrc files.
However Plexamp does not properly support multi value album artist tags which is why I'd like to switch to Symfonium using the Jellyfin API, which does support them.

However this PR on github was already merged to master, making me think it already does?
Which makes me wonder if the API already supports lyrics, and if so, in what way?
I've recently tried out Symfonium on android and the developer Tolriq told me that Symfonium would be able to handle embedded lyrics.
Does Jellyfin's API currently support embedded lyrics which 3rd party players like Symfonium can use?
When will Jellyfin probably support external lyrics from .lrc and .txt files?
I have created a few programs/scripts that would enable me to only open the 6,818 tracks in my library which have .lrc files in mp3tag to embed those tags for only these songs.
I'd only do that as a last resort tho because I prefer having lyrics and art separate from the music files and am quite happy with using .lrc and .txt files instead of tags.
If I were to do this, which tags would I have to use for Jellyfin to support the lyrics?
I've read somewhere to use the "lyrics" tag for synced lyrics in flac files and the "SYLT" tag for mp3s.
