Notes on creating LRC files
-
The text encoding of LRC files must be UTF-8.
-
An LRC file must have the same file name as the audio file, with extension “.lrc”. Otherwise, the player cannot recognize the LRC file.
-
The maximum size of LRC files is 512 KB.
Notes on lyrics text
-
A character string that follows time information at the beginning of the text line is recognized as a lyric text line.
-
Space characters (both 1-byte and 2-byte) immediately following time information will be ignored.
-
Maximum number of displayable characters for each lyric text line
-
The player recognizes up to 95 characters to display the text line on the screen. Characters beyond this limitation are not displayed.
-
If a text line cannot fit in the screen, it will be wrapped (up to 3 lines). Characters beyond 3 lines will not be displayed.
-
The player can display up to 1,024 lines of lyrics for each song.
Notes on new line control characters
-
Any CR, CRLF and LF is recognized properly.
-
A text line that contains only a new line is skipped.
Notes on LRC file format
-
Time information must be at the beginning of a text line. Otherwise, it will be ignored and the number of displayable character may decrease.
-
Time information must be entered in chronological order. If a line’s time information is chronologically equal or before the previous line, the line will be skipped. In this case, text lines will also be skipped until a text line with time information that follows chronologically the last accepted line.
-
A text line that contains time information only is displayed as a blank line (treated as a text that contains no characters).
-
The player supports only lyrics display and does not support other information of LRC file format.
