• Does Lyric function exclude inappropriate words and phrases?

  • Duration (sec)

  Select a track you can't acquire lyrics and right-click it. Select [Acquire lyrics].

  Make sure that the artist name and title are correct on rekordbox.

• I cannot select the motion as I like. Selectable motions differ depending on a track. Why?

  This is because time display information of the lyrics data registered in the external service is different depending on a track.

  There are 3 types of lyric data as follows:

  • Lyric (word sync): Each word of lyrics has display time information.
  • Lyric (line sync): Each line of lyrics has display time information.
  • Lyric (no sync): Lyrics that have no display time information.

  You can't change this information from rekordbox.
