7. In the
Text
box, type or paste the lyrics that you
copied, as shown in the following screen shot. If you
want to create a set of synchronized lyrics from your
static lyrics, make sure that each line of verse is on its
own line.
To add synchronized lyrics
1. Complete the procedure for adding static lyrics earlier
in this article, but do not close the
Advanced Tag
Editor
dialog box.
2. Click
Synchronized Lyrics
, and then wait for the
Player to load the static lyrics data into the timeline
area. Note that each line of lyrics is assigned a
successive but arbitrary time on the timeline. The time
values (in minutes) that the Player assigns to your
lyrics determine when the lyrics appear in the
Now
Playing
feature as the song is played, and will
probably not match when you hear the vocals unless
you adjust them. See step 5.
3. (Optional) To add a description of the lyrics, click
<Type description here>
, and then type your
description. The description does not show when the
song is played.
4. (Optional) Select a Language and a Content type.
5. To test how closely an assigned time value for the
appearance of a line of lyrics matches when you hear
it, click the line of verse under either the Time or
Value columns, and then click Play. The song plays
starting at the time value in the timeline, and a red bar
shows the song's progress. Click and drag the blinking
vertical bar forward or backward to match when you
hear the corresponding line, as in the following screen
shot. Note that your pointer becomes a double-
headed arrow when you place it over the blinking
vertical bar.
6. Click
Play
again to test the new time value. Repeat
this until the line of verse appears when you hear the
matching vocals.
7. When you are satisfied with the lyrics, click
OK
to
close the
Synchronized Lyrics
dialog box.
8. On the Lyrics tab of the Advanced Tag Editor dialog
box, if you only want the synchronized lyrics to be
visible, and not the static lyrics, click
Delete
.
9. Click
OK
to close Advanced Tag Editor.
10. Before copying to MP3 player, please playback the
synchronized lyrics in Windows Media player 10 to
confirm the compilation completed.
