Plugins

Song lyrics are creative works protected by copyright: they belong to the songwriters and their music publishers. Showing them in an app normally needs a license from those rights holders.

• WaxClub does not sell, store or distribute lyrics. The app comes with no lyrics source; you choose which ones to install.
• Web lyrics sources (S1–S4) look the song up on that website, the way your browser would. Each site is responsible for the lyrics it publishes and for its licenses; WaxClub only displays the result to you, for personal listening at home.
• My lyrics files (S5) shows lyrics files that you have the right to use — bought or licensed, written by you, in the public domain, or used with the rights holder's permission. Your files stay on your phone; WaxClub never uploads or shares them.
• Don't share lyrics files you don't own, and don't use WaxClub to show lyrics in public (bars, events, broadcasts): public performance needs its own licenses.

This is general information, not legal advice. Copyright rules vary from country to country.

File type

• .lrc — synced lyrics: each line starts with the time it is sung, [mm:ss.xx].
• Lyrics without timestamps (plain text, .txt) are not used: WaxClub only shows lyrics that follow the record.
• Save as UTF-8 text (accents and other alphabets stay right). Up to 512 KB per file.

How WaxClub knows which song it is

Best: put the artist and the song title in tags at the top of the .lrc file. If the tags are missing, the file name must be Artist - Song.lrc (space, hyphen, space).

[ar:The Beatles]
[ti:Here Comes the Sun]
[al:Abbey Road]
[length:03:05]
[00:00.80]Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
[00:05.10]Here comes the sun, and I say
[00:08.90]It's all right

Without tags, the same file named The Beatles - Here Comes the Sun.lrc works too. Write the artist and title as they appear on the record; capitals, accents and "The" don't matter. [al:] (album) and [length:] (song length) are optional.

Where to keep them

Keep your files in a cloud folder that your computer already syncs. WaxClub updates your lyrics every time it opens (or tap Sync now): new and changed files come in, deleted files go away. Subfolders are fine (e.g. The Beatles/Abbey Road/).

1. Dropbox — in WaxClub: Plugins → S5 My lyrics files → Connect Dropbox. Save your files in Dropbox/Apps/WaxClub. WaxClub can see only that folder.
2. OneDrive — Connect OneDrive. Save your files in OneDrive/Apps/WaxClub. WaxClub can see only that folder.
3. Google Drive — Connect Google Drive. Create a folder named WaxClub Lyrics anywhere in your Drive and save your files there. Google asks to let WaxClub read your Drive (Google has no app-only folder); WaxClub only opens the WaxClub Lyrics folder.
4. Just a few files? Add lyrics files lets you pick them from your phone or any cloud app — do it again when you add new ones.

No need to share folders on your home network. Your lyrics are used in the position of the S5 plugin in your panel, like any other source.
