Description Christian Weiske 2016-07-26 09:41:32 UTC 
Rhythmbox's lyrics plugin loads lyrics files from the local lyrics cache folder, and tries to fetch them from online sources.

mp3, ogg and wma files allow lyrics to be stored as meta data tags in the files itself. The lyrics plugin should read those lyrics tags first instead of looking online.

MP3's ID3v2 has two tags:
- unsynchronized lyrics - USLT tag - http://id3.org/id3v2.3.0#Unsychronised_lyrics.2Ftext_transcription
- synchronized lyrics - SYLT tag - http://id3.org/id3v2.3.0#Synchronised_lyrics.2Ftext

ogg/vorbis files may have a LYRICS tag containing unsynchronized text (as written by kid3, http://kid3.sourceforge.net/)

Please import the lyrics from those meta data tags.
