# Nicole - Lyrics Scraper
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
Nicole is a program that searches for lyrics and writes them into the mp3-tag.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
### Files
|
|
Nicole supports FLAC and mp3 files. Other files can not be edited (as of now).
|
|
Files that do not have a .flac or .mp3 extension are skipped automatically.
|
|
- mp3: lyrics are stored in "USLT" tag as "lyrics- "
|
|
- flac: lyrics are stored as vorbis-comment with key "LYRICS"
|
|
|
|
### History
|
|
Nicole creates 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.
|
|
|
|
If you dont want your files in the history, add the `-n` option.
|
|
|
|
### azlyrics
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
Command line options:
|
|
- `-d [directory]` process directory [directory]
|
|
- `-f [file]` process file [file]
|
|
- `-r` go through directories recursively
|
|
- `-s` silent, no command-line output
|
|
- `-i` ignore history
|
|
- `-n` do not write to history
|
|
- `-o` overwrite if the file already a lyrics
|
|
- `-t` test, do not write lyrics to file, but print to console
|
|
|
|
- `-h` show this
|
|
- `--rm_explicit` remove the "[Explicit]" lyrics warning from the songs title tag
|
|
|
|
If you do not specify a directory or file, the program will ask you if you want to use the current working directory.
