Supported formats
File types Lyric Genie can import.
Audio#
| Format | Extension |
|---|---|
| Apple audio | .m4a, .caf |
| MP3 | .mp3 |
| WAV | .wav |
| AIFF | .aiff, .aif |
| AAC | .aac, .mp4 |
| FLAC | .flac |
Everything is converted to M4A once it is in the app, on your device rather than on a server.
Detection is based on the file's actual type rather than its name, so a file with a misleading extension is still routed correctly.
Lyrics and text#
| Format | Extension |
|---|---|
| Plain text | .txt |
| Rich text | .rtf |
| Markdown | .md |
.pdf |
|
| Word document | .docx |
Sharing into the app#
Lyric Genie appears in the iOS share sheet for both audio and text, so a voice memo or a note can be sent to it directly rather than exported and imported. Every format on this page works that way, and so does plain shared text with no file behind it at all.
See Importing files for what happens next.
Size limits#
| Kind | Limit |
