The Best Offline Music Player With Synced Lyrics

Most apps that show lyrics are streaming services, built around their own catalogues. If your music lives in your own files, such as old MP3s, ripped CDs, or purchased downloads, finding a player that shows lyrics for those tracks has been much harder. Offline Music Player now does exactly that, with synced lyrics right on the Now Playing screen. Here's why it's a strong choice if you want lyrics with your own music.

Lyrics for Your Own Music, Not a Streaming Catalogue

Streaming apps can show lyrics because they control the music they stream. Offline Music Player works the other way around: it plays the files you already have, in MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, M4A, or CAF, and now brings lyrics to those files too.

That means the album you ripped years ago, the live recording a friend sent you, or the independent release you bought as a download can all show lyrics in the same player, alongside everything else in your library. There's no need to switch to a separate lyrics app or search a website mid-track; the words appear right where the music is playing.

Synced Lyrics That Follow the Music

Lyrics in Offline Music Player aren't just a block of text. They scroll with the track, and the line being sung is highlighted in green while the lines around it stay dimmed. You always know where you are, whether you're singing along, learning the words, or just following a verse you've never quite caught.

One tap on the lyrics button in the Now Playing control bar switches from artwork to lyrics, and the 3-dot menu on the lyrics panel switches back to Show Artwork.

The best lyrics feature is the one that matches the recording you're actually playing. That's why being able to choose, adjust, and edit lyrics matters as much as finding them.

You Stay in Control of the Lyrics

Automatic lyrics don't always fit every recording, especially live versions, remixes, or tracks with missing details. Offline Music Player gives you real tools to get them right:

• Search Automatically looks for lyrics for the tracks you play, so most of the time there's nothing to do.

• Search with Different Details lets you search again with a corrected title or artist, which is handy for tracks labelled "Unknown Artist".

• Choose a Version lets you pick the lyrics that best match your recording when more than one set is found.

• Adjust Timing shifts the lyrics earlier or later when they're out of step with the music.

• Edit Lyrics lets you correct words or timing line by line, using simple timestamps like [01:23.45].

• Import .lrc File brings in synced lyrics you already have, for rare tracks or ones you've timed yourself.

Instead of being stuck with whatever lyrics the app finds, you can make them fit your recording exactly. When you've finished editing, tap Save to keep your changes, so the corrected words and timing are ready the next time you play that track.

Lyrics Work Well With the Rest of the Player

Lyrics are even more useful combined with the features Offline Music Player already has:

• A-B Loop repeats one section of a track. Read the highlighted line while it loops, and you can learn a difficult verse or a phrase in another language. Our guide on how to use A-B Loop shows how.

• Playback Speed slows fast lyrics down so every word is easier to follow.

• Crossfade keeps a playlist flowing smoothly between tracks while you sing along. See our Crossfade guide.

• The equalizer lets you bring vocals forward so the words are clearer.

Who It's Best For

• People who love to sing along, without looking up the words on another app or website.

• Language learners, reading along with music in the language they're studying.

• Musicians and vocalists practising a track line by line.

• Anyone with a personal collection who wants lyrics for music that streaming apps may not even carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get lyrics for tracks that aren't on streaming services? Yes. Lyrics work with the music files in your own library. If the search can't find a match, you can type or paste the lyrics in yourself, or import an .lrc file.

What if the lyrics don't match my recording? Try Choose a Version first, then Search with Different Details. If the words are right but the timing is off, use Adjust Timing.

Do I have to use synced lyrics? No. Timestamps are what make lines highlight in time with the track, but you can choose to edit lyrics however suits you.

Your Music, Now With Every Word

Offline Music Player has always been about playing your own music your way. With synced lyrics, editable timing, and .lrc import, it now lets you follow every word of that music too, from the tracks you've loved for years to the ones you're still learning.
