Synced LRC lyrics for your own music on iPhone

Local music does not have to mean giving up synchronized lyrics. bMusic can use LRC files, lyrics stored in tags, or lyrics generated on the device from the audio itself.

If you already maintain .lrc files, bMusic can use those timings with the matching local songs. If lyrics are embedded in the file metadata, it can read those too. For recordings with no lyric source, bMusic can generate timed text on the device.

That last option is useful for demos, live recordings, language-learning audio and obscure tracks that do not exist in a commercial lyrics catalogue.

Why local lyrics are different from catalogue lyrics

Catalogue-based lyric services are excellent when a recording has a known database entry. They are much less useful for personal recordings, alternate masters, bootlegs, demos or language material.

A file-based workflow gives you control over the text and timing instead of depending on whether a third-party service recognizes the exact recording.
