Sorry for late answer, could you identify the songs that are missing, and see if they have anything in common?

Same issue here. I have about 800 songs and it stops after 20.

I have weird filenames that contain things like..

  • ones that contain quotes (")
  • ones that contain single quotes (')
  • ones that contain korean (방탄소년단 eg. BTS)
  • umlauts (ä, ö, ...)
  • colons (:)
  • ampersands (&)
  • @
  • questionmarks (?)

.. and this whole folder is loaded through a network share eg. \serverx\foldery Tried refreshing and removing & readding the folder, no effect.

Otherwise lyrics downloading works well for the 20 that were loaded.

Tech details:

  • lrcget version: 0.2.1 (latest when posting the message)
  • OS: windows 10 pro 22H2 19045.3693 64bit

@ToniKielo the weird filenames should be alright as long as they follow Windows filename rules. However, there might be issues with network drives/folders, which I haven't tested. I'll look into it when I have some free time, but you can try to run lrcget.exe from terminal/cmd/powershell, the logs may provide insights into why those files cannot be loaded.

Figured it out, my mp3 metadata is missing the album information, preventing those songs from being displayed. When I added album metadata and refreshed, they appeared in the UI. Album information doesn't seem to be needed for the lyrics match/search, so hopefully that restriction can be removed.

Thanks for the hint, will add bogus album info now to work on my files :D

Sorry to reopen this issue, but I'm also facing similar problems. I just can't figure out what's wrong. I have the following album (screenshot from mp3tag): image From the whole list, only the 3 marked tracks are loaded into LRCGET. I can't really figure it out, the tags seem to be all alright. Am I missing something? Thanks a lot!

Edit: I realized what the issue is. It seems like LRCGET can't load in any tracks that have multiple artists listed in the metadata. This is an issue, since I have a lot of tracks that have featuring artists that show up in the artist metadata. @tranxuanthang would it be a better idea to maybe prioritize the "album artist" tag (if present) over the "artist" tag when searching for the artist? Or maybe always picking the first artist listed in the "artist" tag?

I'm closing this since this is a really old issue, and newest version of LRCGET and lofty can probably gracefully handle this.
