[Vorbis] Embedding lyrics in ogg/vorbis files

[Christian Weiske]

Hi,


Is there an officially endorsed way to store lyrics (synced and/or 
unsynced) in ogg/vobis audio files?


- In 2006, the reply[1] was "no standard, try CMML".
- In 2008, the reply[2] was "no standard, try CMML".
- In 2011, OggKate[3] was thought up and implemented.
   The mplayer people rejected the patch for oggkate support because it's
   ogg only and a reinvention and suggested[4] ASS[4] instead.

For MP3 it's easy; there is an unsynced[6] and synced lyrics[7] ID3v2 
tag with a simple format description.

Has the problem been solved for ogg/vorbis files in the meantime?


Regards,
Christian Weiske
