Hello,

I wrote a simple Python script, which finds the lyrics for mp3 files in a folder, downloads the lyrics from genius.com and saves them in txt format in another folder. It adds @!title and @!duration tags from the mp3 file. The mp3 files should be named in the format band-name-song-name.mp3 for it to work. Otherwise you can edit the script according to your requirements.

You can find the script here:

Best Regards,

Tolga

Awesome idea tolga
Any chance you could also write a quick how to for our less tech savvy users so they can use the python script?

1. Download and install Python 3.6.3 from this link:
https://www.python.org/downloads/
2. Download and install the dependencies. Change to the directory of the downloaded file on a terminal/command prompt window which contains setup.py file and run the following:
python3 setup.py install
3. BeautifulSoup

5. Mutagen

6. Download the script from here:
https://github.com/tolgainci/lyricpad-lyricsdownloader/blob/master/LyricPadLyricsDownloader.py
7. Edit this part of the script, replacing my folder paths with yours and save it:
keywords={"lyricsfolder":"/Users/tolgainci/Lyrics/",
          "mp3folder":"/Users/tolgainci/Lyrics/mp3/*.mp3"
         }
8. Run the script from the terminal/command prompt window:
python3 LyricPadLyricsDownloader.py

Your mp3 file names should be in the format band-name-song-name.mp3 with a dash in between each word. You can lookup the exact name from the genius website at genius.com/ to be sure. Enjoy :)
