Any examples with synchronized lyrics?

[M23SNEZ3]

I work on my small project, Vinyl, and I want to implement synchronized lyrics
Currently I just parse static text:

lyrics = tag.get_string(&ItemKey::Lyrics).map(|s| s.to_string());

But... How can I work with synchronized lyrics? I have found SynchronizedTextFrame in the docs. But I have no idea how to use with this.

Therefore, any projects, or just examples with this?

Unfortunately lyrics can be very annoying to work with in a generic way.

I have found SynchronizedTextFrame in the docs

That's only accessible through Id3v2Tag if you read a concrete file type (e.g. MpegFile).

In your project, you're using read_from_path(), which internally will read a concrete file type, and then convert it to a generic TaggedFile, so you'll lose access to any format-specific item structures (like ID3v2 frames).

How can I work with synchronized lyrics?

So for formats except ID3v2, there's ItemKey::Lyrics. It usually just has plaintext lyrics, but some applications overload it to store synchronized LRC lyrics (I just recently found this out, #561). You'll just have to try parsing the lyrics to tell what format it is.

For ID3v2 there is no generic way to work with synchronized lyrics, just because the SynchronizedTextFrame contains too much format-specific information.

What apps will usually end up doing is checking the file type and having an ID3v2-specific implementation (example).

@Serial-ATA Thanks to fast response. I think this information is enough.

Another thing to note, if you're working with both synchronized and plain lyrics 0.23.0 will add ItemKey::UnsyncLyrics. It's becoming more common for apps to use the standard Lyrics field for synchronized lyrics and the UnsyncLyrics field for plain lyrics. But of course, outside of ID3v2 there's no guarantee of the contents of those fields
