What if I already have lots of LRC files?

Answer: Please rename the LRC files to the names of the corresponding music files with the file extension .lrc and put them (the music file and its lrc file) into the same folder. If there is no valid LRC embedded in the music file, nLyrics will search the folder where the music file locates for the LRC file with the same name. For example, you have got a music file named "Oops!...I Did It Again.mp3", please rename the corresponding LRC file as "Oops!...I Did It Again.lrc" and put it in the same folder with the mp3 file.
