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

Artist Poster Folders

The Artists views (list and detail page) prefer embedded artwork of the artist picture type. When a song has no such image, Lyrico looks up a poster by file name in your artist poster folders. Go to: Settings → Scan Settings → Artist Poster Folders.

Add a folder: Tap the add button in the top bar, select the folder holding your posters in the system file picker, and grant access. Lyrico reads the posters in it immediately.

Poster naming rules:

File name	Artist it matches
Artist.jpg	The artist whose name matches exactly
Artist_live.jpg	The same artist, with the name followed by _ and a suffix
AC_DC.jpg, AC-DC.jpg, AC／DC.jpg, or ACDC.jpg	An artist whose name contains characters a file name cannot hold (\ / : * ? " < > |), such as AC/DC

JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and MP4 (first video frame) are supported. Only files directly inside the selected folder are considered; subfolders are not searched.

Multiple folders: They are searched in the order they were added, and the first hit wins. Inside one folder, an exact full-name match beats a suffixed variant.

Match status: Each folder row shows the total number of posters it contains and how many of them are named after an artist in your library. A count of 0 usually means the file names do not line up with the artist names—open the folder to check them one by one.

Remove a folder: This only stops using the posters in that folder; local files are not deleted. Re-add it whenever you need it again.

Scan Settings

Settings → Scan Settings includes:

• Folder Management: Manage added music folders (same as above).
• Artist Poster Folders: Manage artist poster folders (same as above).
• Skip audio under 60 seconds: When enabled, Lyrico skips audio files ≤ 60 seconds long.
• Lyric Index: When enabled, a lyric index is built during scanning and used for local lyric search. Enabling it makes scanning slower, and after changing the switch existing songs must be rescanned for it to take effect.
• ReplayGain reference loudness: The target loudness used when calculating ReplayGain, -18 LUFS by default. Choose from three presets — -23 LUFS (EBU R128), -18 LUFS (Default), -14 LUFS (Streaming) — or enter a custom value between -60 and 0 LUFS. This setting affects single-song, album, and batch ReplayGain calculations. See Single Song Editing ReplayGain.

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":

1. Go to Folder Management and remove the affected folder.
2. Re-add the folder and grant access again.
