Today I want to show you how to make your own lrc lyrics file. LRC file is a lyrics file that have timing and lyrics on each lines. If you open the file using any text editor such as notepad, you can see as below:
What you really need is this software. As you can see, there are a lot of conversion options provided, this is a very easy-to-use tool to do subtitles file conversion process. I actually want to convert .srt file to .lrc and then found this tool very useful to generate .lrc file.
Okay then, let straight to our tutorial. Run the software, although it is trial version, but you don’t have to register to do this. Click on “LRC Maker”.
After that, you need to prepare a plain lyrics .txt like below:
Press “From TXT File” on the software (1), after choosing the txt file, the text will appear in the box (2), press “Next” (3).
Press “Open Audio” and the open the audio file.
After the song have loaded, press start, at this time, the song will be played, when you hear the first line of the song is playing immediately press “Next Line” button, when the second line of the song is playing immediately press “Next Line” button again and so on. Repeat this step until all lines finish.
After you have done the final line, a pop-up will appear, saying “lines ended, press next”, something like that. Then, press Next.
Just press “Finish”, if you do not want to add the optional details.
Just like subtitle file for a movie, same goes to lrc, you need to ensure that the song file and lrc file are in same folder and same file name. E.g. if the song file is “abc.mp3”, the lrc file must be “abc.lrc”.
