iTunes Lyrics Import

What is this song all about?
Can't figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish you'd tell me, I don't know
Don't know, don't know, don't know, I don't know!

Weird Al Yankovic, Smells like Nirvana

Sure, you love that song - but what is the guy singing? beaTunes can help. It can automatically fetch missing lyrics from Lyricsfly.

Please note that lyrics may be properties of their rightful owners and the fact that you can download them does not give you the right to use them for your own compositions nor for kind alike. You may only use them for entertainment and educational purposes.

Here's how it works

  • Get the free beaTunes trial version for Windows or Mac and install it on your computer
  • Start beaTunes
  • When asked, whether you want to analyze the library, click yes (if not asked, go to Tools > Analyze all Songs)
  • beaTunes will now show you the analysis options dialog:

    beaTunes lyrics import analysis options dialog

  • Choose Import Lyrics, select whether you want to replace already existing lyrics (probably not) - then start the analysis
    (you might also want to check the Estimate BPM checkbox while you are at it - it will help you with beatmixing)
  • The lyrics are now downloaded in the background
  • To track progress, click on the Analysis Queue item in the left part of the main window:

    beaTunes analysis queue

  • The progress bar in the first row shows how much of the analysis of this song is completed
  • When the analysis is running, the Pause Analysis button is enabled allowing you to pause analysis at any time
  • The estimated remaining analysis time is displayed in the status bar
  • Note, that when you shut down beaTunes and restart it, it resumes the import where you stopped it

Pretty easy. Now would you like to import some lyrics? Get the free trial version.
