Make LRC files for a whole album in one job
Releasing an album with synced lyrics means one LRC per track. Upload all the songs with a lyrics file named after each one, and every track is timed from its vocals and comes back in a ZIP with files named after the songs. The whole album costs $5, paid once, for up to 6 hours of audio, so you pay per album rather than per song.
- Songs and lyrics paired by file name: "03 Song.mp3" with "03 Song.txt"
- Letter case and words in brackets, like "(lyrics)", are ignored when pairing names
- A ZIP per format: LRC, word-by-word LRC and SRT, one file per track
- Lyrics files as TXT, LRC or DOCX
- Up to 6 hours of audio per job, 12 hours on Unlimited
Naming the files so they pair up
Each song needs a lyrics file with the same name. "07 Night Drive.wav" pairs with "07 Night Drive.txt", "07 Night Drive (lyrics).txt" or "07 night drive.docx": letter case, the extension, anything in brackets and the word "lyrics" are ignored. A song without a matching lyrics file is left out of the job, so check the names before you upload.
Instrumental tracks can stay in the upload. With no lyrics file to pair with, they are skipped. One pasted lyrics text only works for a single song, so split an album lyric sheet into one file per track.
What you download
- A ZIP of .lrc files, each with a title tag, the track length and one time per lyric line
- A ZIP of word-by-word files such as "07 Night Drive.word.lrc", with a tag before every word for karaoke-style display
- A ZIP of SRT files for lyric videos and video editors
- File names taken from your song files, so each LRC can sit beside its track
Paying per album, not per song
Payment is per job. One $5 payment covers every paired song in the upload, up to 6 hours of audio in total. A single song of up to 6 minutes is free in full, so you can try one track before you upload the rest.
A label or an artist with several releases to prepare may find Unlimited simpler: $19 a week, up to 12 hours per job, and you can cancel any time.
Getting every track right
Write the lyrics the way they are sung, with each repeated chorus in full. Section labels such as [Hook] or (Outro) are skipped. Every track can be checked on screen before you download, and any line time can be corrected in [mm:ss.xx] form. Tracks with clear lead vocals time most reliably; distorted, screamed, choir-heavy or very fast rap tracks deserve a closer look.
Distributors and stores set their own rules for synced lyrics. Check the format they accept before you send files.
How the tool works, what it costs and how your files are handled is on the Lyrics to LRC page; prices for every tool are on the pricing page.

Questions and answers
Can ChatGPT make LRC files for my whole album?
A chat assistant can format lyrics as LRC one song at a time if you give it the times. It cannot listen to a dozen tracks and find when each line is sung, so its timestamps are guesses, and an album means repeating that for every song. Here all the tracks go into one job and are timed from the audio.
What if a lyrics file name does not match its song?
That song is not paired and is left out. Rename the lyrics file to match the song, apart from the extension, and start again.
Can I use one lyrics document for the whole album?
No. With several songs, each needs its own lyrics file named after it. Split the document into one file per track.
How much does an album cost?
One payment of $5 covers the whole job, up to 6 hours of audio. Unlimited at $19 a week allows up to 12 hours per job. A single short song is free.
Can I correct a track before downloading?
Yes. Each song is shown on screen with its timed lines, and a time you change is used in the downloaded files.
Are unreleased tracks kept private?
Only you can open the job. Songs are sent to an AI model provider only to be processed and are not used to train models. Jobs started without an account are deleted after 7 days, and you can delete the job yourself at any time.
