My preference is to keep using my own music library, forged over decades from recording off the radio and mix tapes with mates, ripping CDs, Napster, playlists, and increasingly-curmudgeonly ways... I have my reasons.
Apple's ecosystem is certainly moving towards their subscription service. I just have no interest in this. But their lack of focus to my "archaic" approach is not maintained in their apps.
I tried this weekend to play some tracks through a new AppleTV setup, hoping to display the lyrics as there was an icon in the bottom-right corner, greyed out. Even for tracks I know previous text-based entries have been made in my personal library.
I am guessing the Music.app pulls the lyrics alongside the Apple Music stream.
But why not read this field from the ID3 tags when playing from a local library? Or do I need to format it specifically?
I expect it is insurmountable without over-burdened workarounds, but will await with anticipation...
