  • Works well for music players and karaoke workflows
[ar:Artist]
[ti:Song]
[00:12.50]First line of lyrics
[00:16.80]Second line of lyrics

JSON Lyric Data (.json)

  • Structured data format for apps and APIs
  • Stores metadata, line timestamps, and lyric text
  • Easy to parse in JavaScript and backend systems

"meta": {},
"lines": [
{ "startTime": 12.5, "endTime": 16.8, "text": "First line of lyrics" }
]
}
