Metadata & Lyrics
Every tag.
Every word.
Bulk-edit tags across an entire album, fetch missing artwork from MusicBrainz and iTunes, and search lyrics to attach to any song — all without leaving your library.
How metadata and lyrics work
Enrichment reviewed before it's applied
After importing albums with incomplete tags, Plinth queries MusicBrainz and the iTunes Search API concurrently for title, year, genre, and artwork. You review each suggestion in a sheet before anything is written.
Manual edits write straight to the file
Long-press any track or album and open the Edit Metadata sheet to change title, artist, album artist, album, genre, year, track number, disc number, or artwork. Changes are written back to the audio file immediately, so your tags are portable.
Lyrics attached per song
From Now Playing, open the ellipsis (⋯) menu and choose Search Lyrics. Plinth searches the LRCLIB database — tap a result to attach it, and it shows in a dedicated view during playback.
