[Flac-dev] Flac and lyrics

[Scot Thompson]

FLAC already handles Vorbis comments, why not just put the lyrics into a
comment?  All the existing players are likely to look there anyway.  I know
that's what I did when I wrote the plugins for MediaCenter.

FLAC supports Application-specific metadata blocks.  Although I am not aware
of any which are specific to lyrics, you could create your own.  If nothing
exists, and you were to make a proposal for review by the community, then
I'm sure you could start a new standard.

On that topic, what other audio file formats support lyrics?  Where can we
see documentation for the existing formats?  It might be helpful to look at
the better designs which have come before.
