How to add text as Lyrics or Tags into an MP3 file
Lyrics in a piece of music are like water for fish. Lyrics are indispensable for wandering the world of music without getting lost. The lyrics express feelings and describe the world in beautiful words, which can be memorized forever as real poems. Even for those who are trying to learn a new language it is important to listen to the songs and study the lyrics for best results. In this article, we highlight two solutions for “add text into an MP3 file”.
The first solution is ideal for those who want to create mp3-karaoke backing tracks, on which to sing freely. The second solution, on the other hand, is useful for those who want to insert the text into the mp3 in the form of a “tag”, i.e. a simple piece of information that can be displayed at any time.
Solution 1. Insert text in an MP3 file as Lyrics (to create MP3 Karaoke file)
KANTO SYNCRO is the ideal software for those who want to add text in an MP3 file (ie synchronize mp3 with the lyrics of the song) in a simple, fast and precise way. Once this synchronization and text insertion operation has been done in the MP3 file, you can then play this MP3 with Karaoke players and you will be able to see the lyrics of the song scroll automatically and to the rhythm of the music.
This type of MP3 files (mp3 karaoke backing tracks) are ideal for singing in company and are also used by professionals for Karaoke and entertainment.
Here are the simple steps to follow to use this software and create MP3 with scrolling text!
Step 1. Install Kanto Syncro
Download and install Kanto Syncro for Windows or Kanto Syncro for Mac, depending on the OS of your computer.
Step 2. Import mp3 file
