lyric2srt is a Python script that converts synchronized lyrics (in timestamp format) to SRT files, the standard format used for subtitles. This project was made possible thanks to the lrclib.net API.

• Python 3.7 or higher.
• Required libraries:
  • requests

Install requests by running:

pip install requests

The script can be run from the command line with the following arguments:

python lyric2srt.py <track> <artist> [--album <album>] [--duration <duration>]

python lyric2srt.py "Shape of You" "Ed Sheeran" --album "Divide" --duration 233

This command will fetch the synchronized lyrics of the song and save them in a lyrics.srt file.

The output file (lyrics.srt) contains the synchronized lyrics in SRT format, ready to be used as subtitles in compatible media players.
