Practical guide
A lot of people search for MP3 to lyrics when they want more than a plain text transcript. They usually have a song file, a local music library, a demo, or an AI-generated track, and they want the lyrics to line up with the audio. That timing is the important part. Without timestamps, you only have words. With timestamps, the lyrics can scroll in a player, import into a video editor, or become the starting point for a lyric video.
LyricTime is built around that timed workflow. You upload the MP3, choose the timing style that fits what you are making, review the result, then export the format you need. If you mainly want lyrics in a music player, LRC is usually the right output. If the lyrics are going into CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or YouTube, SRT is usually better. If you are building for a web video player, VTT is the safer choice.
The review step matters. Even good AI output should be checked once, especially if the vocals are buried in the mix, doubled, heavily tuned, or full of ad-libs. The point is not to make you manually sync the whole song. The point is to give you a strong timed draft that you can polish quickly before exporting.
Finally add synced lyrics to your MP3 collection
Drop your MP3 files in, and our music-trained AI creates perfectly timestamped LRC files. Transcription usually takes around 30-40 seconds per song.
Your synced lyrics are saved in your library. Create folders to organize by artist, album, genre, or however you like. Everything stays organized and accessible.
Download LRC files to pair with your MP3s. Works with car audio systems, Apple Music, foobar2000, MusicBee, and any player that supports synced lyrics.
From MP3 file to synced lyrics in 3 steps
Drag and drop your MP3 file or browse to select it. Works with MP3s from any source — downloaded songs, AI music (Suno, Udio), your own recordings, or streaming exports.
Our music-optimized AI listens to your MP3, transcribes the lyrics, and adds precise timestamps for every line. Transcription usually takes around 30-40 seconds. Unlike speech tools, our AI is trained specifically for singing.
Review the lyrics in the built-in editor. Make any corrections if needed. Export as LRC (for music players and karaoke), SRT (for video subtitles), or VTT (for web video). All formats included.
The only MP3 to lyrics tool built for music
Regular speech-to-text tools produce terrible results on MP3 music. LyricTime uses AI trained specifically for music — handles singing, melody, and harmonies accurately.
Every lyric line gets a timestamp accurate to 0.1-0.3 seconds. Perfect for karaoke videos and music players with lyric display. Adjust timing easily in the editor.
Edit any lyric, adjust timestamps with keyboard shortcuts, split or merge lines, and fine-tune everything before export. Visual timeline shows lyric placement during playback.
Export to LRC (music players, karaoke), SRT (video subtitles for CapCut, Premiere), or VTT (web video, YouTube). All three formats included with every conversion.
Use your synced LRC files everywhere
Many car stereos display synced lyrics when you have matching LRC files. See the words scroll while you drive — perfect for singalongs.
Players like foobar2000, MusicBee, AIMP, and others display synced lyrics automatically when LRC files are in the same folder as your MP3s.
Import lyrics into Apple Music, embed them in your MP3 metadata, or use third-party apps that read LRC files for synced display.
Yes! Upload any MP3 from any source — downloaded songs, AI music (Suno, Udio), your own recordings, or streaming platform exports. As long as it has vocals, we can generate lyrics. Current web upload support is MP3. Convert other formats to MP3 first.
Very accurate for clear vocals. Our AI is trained specifically for music (not speech), so it handles singing, melody, and harmonies well. For MP3s with unclear or heavily mixed vocals, you may need to edit some lines. The built-in editor makes corrections easy.
Absolutely! The editor lets you modify any lyric line, adjust timestamps with keyboard shortcuts (0.5s, 1s, 5s jumps), split or merge lines, and fine-tune everything before export. Full control over the final result.
Transcription usually takes around 30-40 seconds. Editing time varies depending on how many lyric and timing changes are needed.
LRC (for music players like Apple Music, karaoke apps, car audio), SRT (for video subtitles in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve), and VTT (for web video and YouTube). All three formats are included with every conversion.
Generate synced lyrics first, then export an LRC file from LyricTime. Keep the LRC filename matching your MP3, or embed lyrics into metadata with a tag editor if your player supports it.
