Music and Lyrics

I have a song and its lyrics. The song can be played using MusicPlayer class. But how do I show the lyrics of the song and also highlight them in sync with the audio. Words appear and fade with the playback.

Does Android have anything in-built for such a thing?

How can this be achieved?

Solution

  • You need to match the time with the words.

    Place each word on a single line with a time stamp. IE:

    [00:01]Some
[00:02]where 
[00:03]over 
[00:04]the 
[00:05]rainbow

    You can then add metadata for [chorus], [verse] etc.
