Original Pull Request: https://github.com/casualsnek/onthespot/pull/65

State: closed
Merged: Yes

According to wikipedia the lrc files supports some ID tags, so I though it's a good idea to added to the lyrics files here.

I tweked a little the order of the tags from the wikipedia example to match the format used on gnome-subtitles, (why? i'ts the one I'm using to edit some files), feel free to change it if necessary.
Also note that I changed the place of the previous au, by tags, what do you think? Program could be stylized as: OnTheSpot by CasuAlSnek like in the About tab

The added tags are:

Title
Artist
Album
Maker (provider, the one who create the lrc file)
Version (of the program)
Program (used to create the file)

Notes:

The version is hard coded
Also from wikipedia it seems to support the length tag, ex: [length: 2:23]
The Author (songwriter) tag is still missing. On Spotify if you right-click on a song and then click on Show credits the songwriter(s) appear. It looks like is not in the lyrics json file here. I think having this tag on the lrc file is very important because is not present on the audio file.
