## What it is
A self-hostable server implementation of LRCLIB, a free service for finding and contributing synchronized lyrics, written in Rust with Axum and SQLite. It exposes machine-friendly APIs for fetching and publishing time-synced lyrics, powering lrclib.net.

## Use cases
- self-host a synced lyrics API server
- fetch time-synced lyrics for a music player app
- contribute and publish lyrics to a lyrics database
- replace lrclib.net with a private lyrics service
- query lyrics by track title and artist via API
- run a lyrics service in Docker or Podman

## When to choose
- you need a free, open lyrics API without rate limits or API keys
- you want to self-host the LRCLIB service for privacy or reliability
- you're building a music player that needs synchronized lyrics lookup
- you want a lightweight Rust server backed by SQLite

## When to avoid
- you only need a client library to query lrclib.net rather than host a server
- you need a full-featured music metadata service beyond lyrics
- you require multi-user accounts and moderation tooling out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, search-engine, api-framework, database, self-hosted
- domain: audio, apis, self-hosted, web-development
- platform: self-hosted, rust
- tags: synced-lyrics, lyrics, lrclib, axum, sqlite, music-metadata, linux, docker
