[Vorbis] Lyrics stored in .ogg files?

[Pandu E Poluan]

LOL if there's a simpler alternative, why should I use a more complex one?

But seriously, although streaming the text with audio seems logical, it introduces great complexity in the possible occasion of mis-timing. You may have to disassemble the Ogg stream and reassemble it. From this POV, as a programmer I'd rather use the comments hack.

Plus, I've seen new-style LRC files with multiple timestamps on one line, e.g. :

[00:00:40]Atomic Kitten - Tide Is High

[00:09.6][00:46.7][00:56.2][01:33.3][01:42.7][02:40.9][02:50.1]The tide is high
[00:11.3][00:48.6][00:57.9][01:35.1][01:44.5][02:42.7][02:52.1]But I'm holding on
[00:13.9][00:51.4][01:00.8][01:38.0][01:47.4][02:45.6][02:54.9]I'm gonna be your number one
[00:18.9]I'm not the kinda girl
[00:21.3]Who gives up just like that (Oh no)
[00:28.0]It's not the things you do
[00:30.0]That tease and hurt me bad
[00:32.9]But it's the way you do the things
[00:35.2]You do to me

  Annodex is a better way to do it.  However some players still have 
  problems with multiplexed Ogg streams which might make a comments

    I guess it's not much different from storing lyrics in MP3 tags. Define a 
    Vorbis Comment tag, dump an LRC file into it. Let the decoding app read the 
    tag and peruse it as one would an LRC file.

    Hi, 

    I've heard somewhere that it is possible to store inside .ogg files text 
    streams and thus it should be possible to store lyrics for the sond 
    directly in the file. Is it true? Could anybody point me towards some code 
    how to do it (Python preferable, but not required)? Is there any 
    documentation for text streams in .ogg files? 

    Thanks for any reply, 

    Matej
