Large number of Lyric(xxxx).txt file in Temp directory

I recently got a new tablet (Samsung) and installed MM on it. I then synced it with my Windows computer, which is the master database. I noticed afterwards that my user temp directory on the computer had several thousand files named Lyrics(xxxx).txt, where xxxx is a number. I assume it has something to do with the sync, but why doesn't it clean itself up when done? Everything is good on the tablet and computer, just wondering about the waste of space.

Hi,
lyrics temp files are cleared at the end of each sync, and MediaMonkey creates them with '.lrc' extensions,
are you sure that the mentioned .txt files are from MediaMonkey sync? Do the timestamps corresponds?

As far as I can tell, it mainly seems to be when it syncs with the tablet, based on the date/time stamps. Now that it has done that first master sync, there are typically only a few files. I typically use the phone for listening to music right now, and have been going through the library and adding or updating lyrics. I sync the phone with the computer, then the tablet with the computer.

I think that clarifies it.
