Library & Folders
Manage music folders that Lyrico scans, and maintain your library.
Folder Management
Go to: Settings → Scan Settings → Folder Management.
The folder management page has Folders and Songs tabs for viewing the folder tree and songs within a given scope.
Add a Folder
Tap the add button, select a music folder in the system file picker, and grant access. Lyrico starts scanning automatically after adding.
If Settings → Scan Settings → Skip audio under 60 seconds is enabled, audio files 60 seconds or shorter will be skipped—useful for filtering out notification sounds, short clips, and samples.
Refresh a Folder
"Refresh Folder" re-scans the corresponding folder. Useful when:
- You've added new audio files via a file manager
- You've deleted some audio files
- You've modified file tags with another tool
Hide and Show Folders
Hide Folder: Songs in this folder and its subfolders are hidden from song lists, artist lists, album lists, and local search results.
Show Folder: Restore visibility of a previously hidden folder.
Hiding does not delete files or remove the folder record. It's useful for temporarily excluding folders like ringtones or podcasts.
Remove a Folder
Removes the folder and its song records from Lyrico's library. Local audio files are not deleted. You can re-add the folder later.
Operation Comparison
| Action | Local Files | Folder Record | Songs Visible |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hide Folder | Kept | Kept | Hidden, can be shown again |
| Remove Folder | Kept | Removed | Hidden, needs re-adding |
Scan Settings
Settings → Scan Settings includes:
- Folder Management: Manage added music folders (same as above).
- Skip audio under 60 seconds: When enabled, Lyrico skips audio files ≤ 60 seconds long.
Folder Permission Issues
Lyrico automatically cleans up library records and refreshes indexes when:
- Folder permissions are lost (e.g., system revoked storage access)
- A folder is deleted or moved
- Songs in the database no longer exist on the device
If you see "some files cannot be accessed":
- Go to
Folder Managementand remove the affected folder. - Re-add the folder and grant access again.
