Custom Lyrics not showing in MMA.
Posted: Sun Sep 02, 2018 2:50 am
MMA 1.3.2.0824 MMPro
Itunes 12.8.0.150
My windows machine has been down so I've been using my Macbook to download mixcloud radioshows. These are in .mp4a format
I'm importing them to itunes and adding artwork. But also keeping a separate artwork file in .png format in each shows folder. The artwork shows fine in MMA.
I'm also cut and pasting the tracklist of each show into the custom lyrics in itunes. This text shows fine when viewing lyrics in iTunes on Mac.
In MMA the lyrics don't show. I'm assuming this is something to do with the way apple stores the lyrics??
The lyrics are not downloadable as its an obscure radio show.
I'm just drag and dropping each folder for each track from the Mac into the Android device. I'm not using MM or Itunes to do this.
Can I get MMA to show the lyrics if they are stored as a separate text file along with the artwork in the folder for each track?
I've tried saving the lyrics as a .txt file but nothing is showing?
Is there a special type of format I should be saving the text as?
I have tried saving it as UTF-8 .txt files but still nothing showing up in the lyrics. The Android device does read the format though.
I've tried naming the text file the same as the audio file but the lyrics are not showing.
I don't need the lyrics to be timecoded.
All suggestions please.
I've copy and pasted into the lyrics manually in MMA on my android and this works but this is not an option for the amount of tracks I need to add lyrics to.
(I would normally do all this in MMW and in Mp3 but I don't have that option at the moment)
UPDATE: Have tried converting the mp4a file in itunes into an mp3 file. It now shows the art without the extra. png file but lyrics still don't show
