lyrics2mp3

Parse lyrics and add them into mp3 and m4a files (via id tags).
Lyrics can then be viewed on iPhone, iTunes and other players.

What script does:

1. Scans directory recursively, or each file in playlist, for music files.
2. Reads artist and title from music tag.
3. Searches lyrics for each song on genius.com, azlyrics.com, lyricsgenius.com, songlyrics.com
4. Inserts lyrics into music file if found (unless simulating).
