It seems the only way to check if a song has embedded lyrics is to read the entire metadata of the song using TagLib, but unfortunately this process can be quite slow and would cause a significant delay in loading the app

@kerollosy Maybe adding an option to do it manually in the settings could work? and use that to filter
