Metadata Processing
Controls text processing and display-related settings for metadata.
Chinese Text Conversion
"Chinese Text Conversion" applies to searched text metadata and lyrics. IDs, dates, numbers, URLs, and covers are not affected.
Options:
- None
- Simplified → Traditional
- Traditional → Simplified
Remove Empty Lines
When enabled, empty lines are automatically removed from lyrics and other multi-line text fields on save.
Non-Lyric Content Filtering
Used when "Remove non-lyric content" is checked during lyric formatting. Automatically strips composer, lyricist, source, and other non-lyric lines.
Filtering rules are managed at Settings → Metadata Processing → Non-Lyric Content Filtering Rules. Rules match entire lines of the original lyric text; word-timed lyrics are joined into lines before matching.
Common filter examples: Composer:, Lyricist:, Arranger:, Source: QQ Music, etc.
Artist Separator
The separator used when writing multiple artists to a tag. The default separator varies by audio format (e.g., FLAC uses \0, MP3 uses ; ).
Artist Splitting
Artist Split Rules affect how the Artists view groups songs. When enabled, Lyrico lists songs with multiple artists under each artist separately.
In the split settings you can configure:
- Additional separators (e.g.,
feat.,&,,). - No-Split Whitelist: Artist names that should never be split (e.g., names that naturally contain separator characters).
After modifying separators or the whitelist, you usually need to tap Rebuild Artist Index for changes to fully take effect.
Field Visibility Settings
Controls which tag fields appear in the single-song editor and batch editor.
Hidden fields:
- Do not appear in the editing interface.
- Are not cleared on save (existing tag data is preserved).
Use this to simplify the editor by hiding fields you rarely use.
Custom Tags
Controls which custom tag keys are shown in the editor and batch editor. Go to: Settings → Metadata Processing → Custom Tag Management.
- The tags in the list are exactly the tag fields that appear in the single-song and batch editors, in the same order.
- Tap Add Tag to add a tag:
- Pick a scanned key directly from Tags found in the library, ordered by usage count (most used first).
- Or type a key by hand (for example
SOURCE,MOOD). Keys are trimmed and upper-cased automatically; empty input, line breaks, more than 64 characters, or a duplicate reports the specific reason.
- Tap a tag in the list to see which songs use it; tapping a song there opens its editor.
- Deleting a tag only removes it from the list—it does not delete existing data from songs, and re-adding it brings the values back into view.
- Reset to Default clears the list back to its default state.
Tag keys come from the audio files themselves, and Lyrico tracks how often each key is used.
Character Mapping
Used during batch rename to replace specific characters in filenames.
In the character mapping page, tap a character to configure its replacement rule. Each character can map to a different replacement value. Common usage: replacing / with -, or : with _ for characters unsuitable in filenames.
