Auto-Import Lyrics - Callers Caddy

The same old problem: Manual chaining

Anyone who regularly imports new songs into their music player knows the scenario: There's a nice MP3 file — and often a lyrics file (RTF, HTML or TXT) alongside it.

The classic workflow:

Import MP3 → Song is entered into the database
Manually search for lyrics file → „Where was that file again?“
Copy the file to the lyrics folder. → Manually juggling with Explorer
Link in the song data record → Click the button, select the file, save it

For 10 songs? Doable.

For 100 songs? Tiresome.

For 1,000 songs? Unrealistic.

The solution: Lyrics co-import in Callers Caddy

Away Version 0.49 Callers Caddy does this automatically: When importing an MP3, the app simultaneously searches for a matching lyrics file — and links it immediately if found.

This saves time AND potential sources of error:

✅ No more manual copies
✅ No forgotten lyrics
✅ Consistent naming
✅ All in one step

How does that work?

The app is searching for a file containing same name (without file extension) in two locations:

1. In the import folder (where the MP3 is located)

Example: You import Ring Of Fire-RYL818.mp3 out of C:\Music\New\
→ The app simultaneously checks whether there Ring Of Fire-RYL818.rtf lies
→ If yes: automatically copied in the lyrics/-folder and linked ✨

2. In the app lyrics folder (Fallback)

If the lyrics file is already there (e.g. from a previous import):
→ Will she directly linked — no duplicate copies

Supported poetry formats

.rtf (Rich Text Format)
.htm / .html (Web format)
.txt (Plain Text)

The label recognition system

Callers Caddy also automatically recognizes the lyrics along with the lyrics import. Label from the filename. That saves you even more typing!

File name	title	Label
`Break My Stride-BVR113.mp3`	Break My Stride	BVR113
`BVR113-Break My Stride.mp3`	Break My Stride	BVR113
`Ring Of Fire-RYL818+.mp3`	Ring of Fire	RYL818+
`YRR 043a - Dunderklumpen.mp3`	Dunderklumpen	YRR 043a
`RBS 1326-Ace In The Hole.mp3`	Ace In The Hole	RBS 1326
`Hoedown.mp3`	Hoedown	(empty)

The logic is clever:

Title and label can be found in any order before/after the hyphen
Labels with spaces are recognized (e.g. YRR 043a, RBS 1326)
Label suffixes such as + are possible
No match? No problem — the full name is used as the title.

Here's how to try it out

Preparation:

Save a few MP3s and their lyrics files in the same folder.
- Example: Ring Of Fire.mp3 + Ring Of Fire.rtf
- Or with a label: RYL818-Ring Of Fire.mp3 + RYL818-Ring Of Fire.rtf
Open Caller's Caddy and click on NEW (or Import files)
Select the MP3 files
Observe the log output: [Import] New: #123 'Ring Of Fire' [RYL818] [Import] Lyrics linked: Ring Of Fire.rtf
