I am removing the notability and unreferenced tags. I found a good reference page and am updating the page accordingly. --CurtisP 01:32, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just purchased a cheap MP3 player that supports LRC files. I'll see if I can find anything else to add to this entry.--CurtisP 23:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article refers to that some players ignore the tags, so I updated it. And I checked with my MP3 player and it ignores the tags, havened been able to find another source yet. ChaosR 21:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copied from User talk:Rich257:

The site is in Japanese, but they have lyrics in many languages (including English). For example, search for "Leaving on a jet plane". I think you should add the link because it is really a big resource, the other external link has just Hip-Hop lyrics. Added by 200.226.22.160 at 22:38, 21 October 2006

Not sure which is the search box on the site, it's all in Japanese. Typed that in one box and came up with a page of pictures, artists or album, not sure which, didn't see a link to LRC files. Rich257 19:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nor do I speak japanese, but I can use this site. But, as you couldn't use it, maybe other English Wikipedia readers will not find the proper search box too. I've tried to find another resource, but it's hard to find lrc files on the web. -- 200.226.28.40 01:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see there are links to other sites on this talk page. Have a look at WP:External links, I think the Japanese link fails on a number of criteria. Rich257 08:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can anybody compare *.LRC and *.KAR?. A *.MID (MIDI) file with LRC lyrcis is an integrated *.KAR file ?. --Altermike 07:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight

O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bomb bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep

Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,

In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,

'Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion

A home and a Country should leave us no more?

Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand

Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation!

Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n rescued land

Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto - "In God is our trust,"

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 2601:403:C380:1C0:39A1:C4DF:753B:5BAC (talk) 15:16, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We would include *.LRC files in Wikimedia Commons or Wikisource. --Altermike 07:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added Stepmania to programs that support LRC, because it does...but it doesn't really fit in with the other programs, since they are media players I'd imagine. Should it be kept there?

Mention what character set is to be used in .LRC files. E.g, is

[04:00.57][03:24.78][01:53.80]一个人去想的寂寞

to be encoded in UTF-8 or must one convert to the character set of the player? Jidanni (talk) 02:58, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, apparently there is no defined character set, some devices accept only ANSI, while others accept UTF-8 without BOM other with BOM at start of UTF-8... An ANSI file is a valid UTF-8 file without BOM ...

"Music Player with lyrics available for selected software versions of Nokia 5800XM, X6 and 5230" http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/news

Nokia recently release an updated version of media player on some symbian devices, it supports LRC files, doesn't interpret extended format (appears always green) and ignores Enhanced format timestamp tags...

I've added Nokia's selected devices to the list of supported hardware, even tough i don't know if software would be more fit...

I have added an inner section for software that renders LRC; feel free to add other software/plugins than KaraFun`s Karaoke. Thanks188.25.107.83 (talk) 23:31, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Foobar2000 should be included under support, with the lyric editor extension. 70.8.180.27 (talk) 23:53, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=How-to:Create_LRC_karaoke_lyrics_files they use [...] for the inner timing tags of the enhanced LRC format. Is that a typo there or a known variation (instead of using <...> that is)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.128.206.45 (talk) 16:24, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"•Sometimes lyrics repeat themselves throughout the song, especially choruses. You can add a different time tag right next to the original one so that you don't have to type it twice. For example: [01:26.03][01:56.24]”Chorus lyrics”." http://www.wikihow.com/Make-an-*.Lrc-File

is this documented anywhere else? this is not mentioned in the Wikipedia article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.128.206.45 (talk) 17:48, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MPlayer (or MPUI-hcb?) has included support for .lrc files for quite a while but I don't know exactly when this feature was added and I don't want to just assume all versions.

• MPlayer core (UNKNOWN-4.2.4)/MPUI (1.1.10 build 33) for Windows

• Support for display of .lrc files stored in the MPUISnap (/[My ]Documents/MPUISnap by default) folder. Lyric files must have the same name as the corresponding media file.

• MPlayer core (UNKNOWN-4.6.2)/MPUI-hcb (1.0.10 build 33) for Windows

• Support for display of .lrc files stored in the MPUISnap (/[My ]Documents/MPUISnap by default) folder. Lyric files must have the same name as the corresponding media file.
• Has integrated downloading of lyrics from the internet to the MPUISnap folder. (However, MPEG-4 audio files with embedded album artwork will be treated as video files and attempt to download subtitles instead.)

I've only used MPlayer via the MPUI so I can't say for sure that these functions are part of MPlayer itself or the UI, so it'll need some more looking into. --Crimson Bleeding Souls (talk) 05:28, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
