Subtitles

This feature allows you to view lyrics text associated with media files.

The Subtitles window is docked on the left side of the man window along with File Browser and Pictures windows.

You can close or show this window by checking a check mark located at Ribbon bar under Tools menu in Browsers & Viewers group

The lyrics text may be shown from CD Catalog tracks, Library media files,  MP3 file tag or from a text file associated with media file.
 
Depending on the feature you are using the software first will try to show lyrics from features lists, if no lyrics are found in assigned media files then will try obtaining lyrics text from disk.

Only MP3 files has special ID3 Tag v2 ability to keep Subtitles or Pictures inside the file.

When you start to play MP3 file then

How to write lyrics text into a MP3 file:

Use our File Audio Processor software, which you may download here.

How to associate external lyrics text to all types of media files:

Create lyrics text with the same name as the media file has but with extension .txt

You may use Create Subtitles Files command from Tools menu to easy the task.

Now you can choose where you want to keep your lyrics text files.

1. You can choose one folder to store them all in one place. Go to options and set a folder location.

For example:

If you have set the Custom Subtitles folder like: c:\My Subtitles Folder then

When you start play file "c:\My song.mpg" then program will look into

"c:\My Subtitles Folder\ for file named "My song.txt"

If a file is found then the file will be loaded into a Subtitles window as lyrics text

2. If you choose not to create one general folder for lyrics then you have to create separate folders named "Subtitles" whenever your media files are.

Probably this could be the most useful option.

For example:

When you start play file "c:\Band\My song.mpg" then program will look into

"c:\Band\Subtitles\ for file "My song.txt"

If a file is found then the file will be loaded into a Subtitles window as lyrics text

While the text file is loaded into a Subtitles window you can edit the text and use the Save Subtitles to update the text on disk.

Save Subtitles command is located at Ribbon bar under Tools menu in File Manager group, in Command menu.
