What is Get Lyrical?
Get Lyrical is a macOS music utility for adding song lyrics to tracks in an iTunes library. It is designed for people who want lyrics embedded in their music files without entering them by hand one song at a time. The app can process selected tracks or the currently playing song, and it also offers an Active Tagging mode that looks up lyrics while music plays. Users can browse and edit lyrics inside the app before or after saving them to track metadata. This makes it useful for maintaining a cleaner music library, preparing songs for lyric display on Apple devices, or improving local track information for personal collections. Get Lyrical is published by Shullian and targets Mac workflows built around iTunes-era library management.
Key features
- Add lyrics to selected iTunes tracks in batches
- Fetch lyrics for the currently playing song
- Automatically look up lyrics during playback with Active Tagging
- Browse and edit track lyrics before saving changes
- Write lyrics directly into song metadata
- Help maintain a more complete local music library

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Get Lyrical is a niche music-library helper for macOS that works with your local music collection and needs access to your music library to read tracks and save lyrics. That access is normal for its purpose. The main practical concern is compatibility: it was built for older iTunes-based workflows and may not fit modern Music app setups on current Macs. If you use it, make sure you are comfortable with changes being written into song metadata and keep a backup of an important library before bulk editing.
Recommendation: Keep Get Lyrical if you still manage a local iTunes-style music library and want automatic lyric tagging. If you no longer use it, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though you may lose a convenient way to batch-add or edit embedded lyrics.
