Chronograph is an open-source application designed for accurately syncing lyrics with audio timestamps.
You may notice that many of music players support synced lyrics which are highlighted line-by-line or word-by-word while playing? This app was designed to give the community an ability to be the ones who make these lyrics.
Chronograph directly supports publishing to LRCLib. As many FOSS music players use LRCLib to fetch synchronized lyrics, this integration allows users to easily contribute their work back to the open-source community.
If you have a large base of music and just want to download lyrics for all of it, Chronograph also supports mass lyrics downloading. It will try to find lyrics for each of your track on LRClib and save it depending on your settings.
Syncing Modes
Supported Formats
New Library approach: Previously, Chronograph has manipulated different directories user stores files in. Now we move from this approach to new Library. You select a folder in which you want to create a new library, then import files in it, and Chronograph then uses this Library and its files.
New Chronograph's own lyric format Chronie. Its main goal to be compatible with every other format Chronograph supports. Since barely all formats use Line-by-line or Word-by-word syncing and either only start or both start and end timestamps, Chronie combines all these approaches and store ALL of them simultaniously. Chronie can be converted to any lyric format and then exported, at the same time, it is exportable itself.
Since most of the users, I guess would only use one library, it has tags you can assign to a track in a Library. Sidebar, which previously stored saved locations (directories) now stores tags and allow fast filtering among them.
These are removed: List View mode, all files related settings.
