Get Lyrical for Mac

Enrich Your iTunes Library with Lyrics Automatically

Get Lyrical is a complimentary macOS utility that automatically populates your iTunes tracks with their lyrics. The app examines the songs in your iTunes collection, locates matching lyrics, and inserts them into the song metadata so you can view words while you listen. It works unobtrusively in the background, letting you carry on with other tasks while it completes your library.

Key Benefits

• Retrieves lyrics for many songs at once, cutting down on manual entry.
• Installs quickly and is straightforward to operate for users of varying experience.
• Operates quietly in the background so playback isn’t interrupted.
• Free to download and use for Mac users.

Installation and Workflow

Getting started is simple: install the application on your Mac, grant it access to your iTunes (or Music) library, and let it scan your collection. Once configured, Get Lyrical processes tracks in batches and writes the lyrics directly into each song’s metadata, making them available immediately in players that read embedded lyrics.

Who Should Use It

This tool is ideal for listeners who enjoy following along with lyrics—whether for sing-alongs, language study, or a deeper appreciation of the songwriting. It’s also useful for anyone who prefers having complete metadata for their music library without spending time entering lyrics by hand.

Other Options to Consider

• Musixmatch (desktop/mobile) — a popular choice with large lyric databases and integrations.
• Dedicated Mac lyric finders — several small apps on the macOS App Store focus specifically on tagging lyrics.
• Web-based lyric repositories — manually copy-paste lyrics from reputable lyric sites if you prefer hands-on control.
