## 🎯 Key Features

### 1. Automatic Lyrics Fetching
- Triggers automatically after audio download
- Uses LRCLIB API (https://lrclib.net)
- Fetches both synchronized (.lrc) and plain text lyrics
- Detects instrumental tracks

### 2. Intelligent Caching
- **Two-level cache**: Django cache + Database
- Prevents duplicate API requests
- 7-day cache for found lyrics
- 1-day cache for not-found entries
- Tracks access count and last accessed date

### 3. Background Polling
- **Hourly**: Auto-fetch lyrics for 50 tracks without lyrics
- **Weekly**: Cleanup old cache entries (30+ days)
- **Weekly**: Retry failed fetches (7+ days old)

### 4. Synchronized Display
- Real-time lyrics highlighting
- Auto-scroll with current line
- Tab switching between synced/plain text
- Beautiful UI with Material-UI

### 5. API Endpoints
- `GET /api/audio/{id}/lyrics/` - Get lyrics
- `POST /api/audio/{id}/lyrics/fetch/` - Manual fetch
- `PUT /api/audio/{id}/lyrics/` - Update lyrics
- `DELETE /api/audio/{id}/lyrics/` - Delete lyrics
- `POST /api/audio/lyrics/fetch_batch/` - Batch fetch
- `POST /api/audio/lyrics/fetch_all_missing/` - Fetch all
- `GET /api/audio/lyrics/stats/` - Statistics

## 📊 Database Schema

### Lyrics Table
```
- audio_id (FK, primary key)
- synced_lyrics (text)
- plain_lyrics (text)
- is_instrumental (boolean)
- source (varchar: lrclib, genius, manual)
- language (varchar: en, es, fr, etc.)
- fetch_attempted (boolean)
- fetch_attempts (int)
- last_error (text)
- fetched_date (datetime)
```

### LyricsCache Table
```
- id (primary key)
- title (varchar)
- artist_name (varchar)
- album_name (varchar)
- duration (int, seconds)
- synced_lyrics (text)
- plain_lyrics (text)
- is_instrumental (boolean)
- language (varchar)
- source (varchar)
- cached_date (datetime)
- last_accessed (datetime)
- access_count (int)
- not_found (boolean)
- UNIQUE(title, artist_name, album_name, duration)
```

## 🔄 Workflow

1. **User downloads audio** → `download_audio_task`
2. **Download completes** → Triggers `fetch_lyrics_for_audio.delay()`
3. **Lyrics service**:
   - Checks LyricsCache database
   - If not cached, queries LRCLIB API
   - Parses response (synced/plain/instrumental)
   - Stores in Lyrics + LyricsCache tables
   - Caches in Django cache (7 days)
4. **Celery Beat** (hourly):
   - Finds audio without lyrics
   - Fetches up to 50 tracks
   - Respects rate limits (1-2 sec delay)
5. **Frontend**: LyricsPlayer component displays with real-time sync

## 🎨 UI Features

### LyricsPlayer Component
- **Synced Mode**: Highlights current line, auto-scrolls
- **Plain Mode**: Static text display
- **Controls**: Refresh, close, auto-scroll toggle
- **Responsive**: Adapts to container size
- **Dark Theme**: Matches SoundWave aesthetic

### Settings Page
- Enable/disable auto-fetch for new downloads
- Toggle synchronized lyrics in player
- Shows lyrics system status

## 🔧 Configuration

### Celery Beat Schedule
```python
'auto-fetch-lyrics': {
    'task': 'audio.auto_fetch_lyrics',
    'schedule': crontab(minute=0),  # Every hour
    'kwargs': {'limit': 50, 'max_attempts': 3},
}
```

### Rate Limiting
- 1-2 second delays between batch requests
- Maximum 3-5 fetch attempts per track
- 7-day retry wait for failed fetches

## 📈 Statistics Tracking

### Lyrics Stats Endpoint
Returns:
- Total audio tracks
- Tracks with lyrics attempted
- Synced lyrics count
- Plain lyrics count
- Instrumental count
- Failed fetches
- Coverage percentage

### Cache Stats Endpoint
Returns:
- Total cache entries
- Not-found entries
- Synced/plain counts
- Cache hit rate

## 🚀 Next Steps

To enable the lyrics feature:

1. **Start Celery workers**:
   ```bash
   celery -A config worker -l info
   ```

2. **Start Celery beat**:
   ```bash
   celery -A config beat -l info
   ```

3. **Run migrations** (when containers start):
   ```bash
   python manage.py makemigrations audio
   python manage.py migrate
   ```

4. **Download audio** - Lyrics fetch automatically!

5. **Manual batch fetch** (optional):
   ```python
   from audio.tasks_lyrics import auto_fetch_lyrics
   auto_fetch_lyrics.delay(limit=100)
   ```

## 🎵 LRC Format Example

```lrc
[ar: Artist Name]
[ti: Song Title]
[al: Album Name]
[length: 03:45]
[00:00.00]
[00:12.50]First line of lyrics
[00:15.80]Second line here
[00:18.20]Third line continues
[00:21.00]And so on...
```
