Lyrics to MP3 files ID3 metadata

Have you thought about batch adding lyrics directly to the MP3 files ID3 metadata (outside of iTunes)? Both these programs support auto tagging of lyrics. iTunes should recognize no problem.

I don't think you create a batch to do it. You just use the right commands from the GUI to tell it to do a lot of files automatically.

But why not go to http://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/music/mptagthat and see there. They have documentation and their own forum for this program. Should be much better than anything written here.

i looked in the forums and you would still have to manually select each song to add lyrics. creating a batch isn't even supported in the program. any other suggestions?
