Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior

I use spotdl save to get the metadata of my audio files and tag them with MediaFile. Unfortunately, the lyrics are not getting fetched at all as they do with spotdl download:

Other details

Neither did any of these 2 options help:

Try this, it works download https://open.spotify.com/track/6b7oNUj0gjn5GICYZG85TZ?si=b9be60f17fef40f4 --lyrics genius --save-file mytest.spotdl The --save-file option is working as intended when used with the download operation. It saves the song data along with the lyrics, as expected. You can continue using this method to save the metadata with lyrics included.

I recommend closing this thread since the issue seems resolved
