## Overview
|
2021-09-29 04:20:27 +02:00
|
|
|
Nicole is a program that searches for lyrics and writes them into the mp3-tag "USLT".
|
|
|
|
|
There is a 5 second delay between each request to azlyrics.com because the site will block your ip if there are too many requests.

### History
|
2021-09-29 04:20:27 +02:00
|
|
|
Nicole can create a history of all files that were processed in `~/.configs/nicole`.
|
|
|
|
|
If a file is in the history, it will be skipped unless `ignore_history=True`.
|
|
|
|
|
If the lyrics for a file can not be obtained, it is added to `~/.configs/nicole/failed_files`.
|
|
|
|
|
Those files are not skipped, the file only exists so that you can see which lyrics were not downloaded.

Nicole creates a azlyrics.com url from the title and artist mp3-tags of the file.
|
|
|
|
|
The lyrics are extracted from the html document using regex.
