How can I add the lyrics for songs in MP3 format in iTunes for Windows? There is even no the 'Lyrics' tab in the 'Get Info'.

Are you sure the songs are actually in MP3 format, or another comaptible format?

WAV files, for aexample, cannot have lyrics added.

I'm having the same problem and it's definitely an mp3. Before it didn't matter what song it was- none of them had a lyrics tab. Now some of my mp3's have the option to add lyrics and not others.

(For example my Lana del Rey MP3's have a lyrics tab but not my Krewella ones).

Doesn't make sense to me why this is happening.

You may find that the file is Read-only, which means that it cannot be altered.

However, you can change the Read-only in "Properties" using your file manager.

1. The location (for the next step) of a song is found by looking n the Get Info/Summary>Where: of each song. Make a note of the location.

2. Go to the location (on your computer) of the song, right-click it and the last item on the pop-up menu is Properties. Go into Properties/General>Atributes and turn off the tick in the box named Read-only. Now go back to your iTunes Library and try that song again. The Lyrics tab should now be there.

Thanks! ➕

The box wasn't ticked but I checked it then unticked/applied and it fixed the issue. Weird but at least it's not a problem anymore. 🙂
