Hi! It isn't supported in current version as Vorbis Comments do not define the official/standard way of specifying lyrics. Since next update will be added for such fields:

LYRICS
UNSYNCEDLYRICS
SYNCEDLYRICS

Hello!

Was that integrated into the Player? I use Embedded Lyrics (LYRICS tag), but Lyrics doesn't work on Neutron.

Lyrics in Neutron works with lyrics files, see the recent Question about Lyrics.

Lyrics in ape(v)2-tags are mentioned for version 2.13.0

So you could give that a try. When in doubt feel free to ask neutronmp@gmail.com for clarification.

Nice! I already checked previously, and file based lyrics works. But it seems you find a very important details on the release note - that the tagging system needs to be apv2. I enabled that on the file itself, and now lyrics works. Thank you!

Great ! Could you perhaps show a screenshot and outline what one has to do to make it work ?

All you really have to do, is to change the mp3 tag to be "APEv2". It can be done I'm assuming with numerous tools, but since my PC player is Foobar, I used Foobar. If you want to do it on Foobar - Mark the file (or files) you you to change the Mp3 tag too, Right click, and select "Tagging", followed by - "mp3 tag select...".
You should now see a list of the support types. Just make sure to check the "APEv2". I will attach a screenshot once I'm home later on.

I usually work with mp3 files and tag them with the tool "mp3tag". So I have to add apev2 tags to the mp3 files, add a tag field "lyrics", the contents of which is the lyrics as text ?

Ok, works, thank you! But this doesn't work with time marks like lrc ? ... I see, it does :

ape6.jpg

So the lyrics in the "LYRICS" field in the apev2 tags do have the same format and function as the ones in the lrc files. Great !
