About LRC
LRC files began with the lyrics plugins of MP3 players around 2000, and they're still how foobar2000, MusicBee, Poweramp and many other players keep a song's lyrics in time. Sites like LRCLIB share them for millions of songs.
An LRC is plain text: each line starts with the time it's sung in brackets, like [01:12.40], and tags at the top can give the title, the artist, the album and an offset in milliseconds. Enhanced LRC times each word too.
Dropped with the song named like it, its lines show under the waveform as it plays, the one being sung between the one before and the one after, and pressing a line plays from there. Alone, it opens as a table of every line with its time, to search and save as CSV.

Questions
How do I see the lyrics as a song plays?
Drop the song and its LRC together, named alike, or the folder that holds them. Its lines show under the waveform as they are sung.
Why are my lyrics early or late?
The LRC was timed for another version of the song, like a radio edit or a remaster with a longer intro. An [offset:] tag at the top moves every line by its milliseconds, and Filepeek follows it.
Why does my player show no lyrics?
Many players only read lyrics kept in the song's own tags, not an LRC beside it, and those that do need it named like the song. foobar2000, MusicBee and Poweramp read both.
