Quick Start

1. Click Select Folder and point it at your music library
2. Select an artist from the left panel
3. Select albums and/or tracks (or use Select All Artists / Albums)
4. Click Download Lyrics
5. Watch the log panel — done!
6. In case of problems with tags use Advanced for manual search

Things to consider: Artist and Track recognition is based on tags in music files, without proper tags it will not work!
Supported file types are: mp3, flac, ogg, aac, m4a, opus.
Metal Archives downloading works by custom web scrapper inside Edge browser installed in your system thus it's Windows only.
