I have a lot of songs and albums to download lyrics for (or attempt to, a lot of instrumentals are in my library as well ofc). How would I go about downloading lyrics for every song I can in a directory, recursively? Something like spotdl --lyrics -r [{genius,musixmatch,azlyrics,synced}] * ? I already have some .lrc files downloaded, so I'm not sure how it would handle those, if at all. If it ignores it and overwrites the ones that are there currently I'm honestly fine with that. Just a bit lost on what I need to do.

Oh yes, that info is important. Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon is what I'm running. Let me check my spotDL version, or rather, figure out how to check it

#

I am running spotdl-4.2.5

Running the above command produces this output btw, so I know I'm doing something wrong
