How synced lyrics work

Synchronized lyrics pair text with timing information so a player can follow the recording line by line.

Availability, formats and supported operations can vary by source and content.

Timestamps drive the highlight

Formats such as LRC associate lines with playback times. More detailed formats may time individual words.

Recordings need their own timing

A live version, radio edit and album version can start or progress differently, so one timing file may not fit every recording.

Availability varies

Lyrics and synchronization depend on matching data. A player should fall back gracefully when only plain lyrics—or no lyrics—are available.
