Q: How do I use offline synced lyrics?
There are three methods for adding offline synced lyrics in Eq Music.
Method 1:-
STEP 1:
Find the time-stamped lyrics for your songs that don't have lyrics already. A time-stamped lyric looks like this, "[00:04:02] Some lyrics text" for example.
STEP 2:
Copy these time-stamped lyrics.
STEP 3:
Open Eq Music and head to the song synced lyrics editor.
STEP 4:
Paste the lyrics there normally and exit the editor
STEP 5:
Open lyrics and you should see your time-stamped lyrics there.
Method 2:-
STEP 1:
Download the time-stamped lyrics for your songs that don't have lyrics already. You can find ".lrc" files for popular songs at either of the websites given below. A time-stamped lyric looks like this, "[00:04:02] Some lyrics text" for example.
STEP 2:
A ".lrc" is like a text file that contains the time-stamped lyrics for example, "[00:04:02] Some lyrics text". Save your time-stamped lyrics are ".lrc" file.
STEP 3:
Now you have to rename the file you created in this way: <song_name> - <artist_name>.lrc or for better matching copy the <song_name> and the <artist_name> from the tag editor and then rename the file.
STEP 4:
Now paste the LRC files to the following path: /sdcard/Retromusic/lyrics/ Here sdcard is your internal storage.

STEP 3:
Find your song to edit and paste the synced lyrics.
These apps add those synced lyrics in the music file itself instead of creating a ".lrc file for it."

Some Important Notes:
If you want to skip to a particular timestamp, simply scroll to the time stamp from where you want to start and a 'Play' icon will appear left to the particular stamp. Tap on the play button to play from there.
When you save lyrics by pasting lyrics in lyrics editor, close the lyrics and open again for lyrics to show.
For those who are having difficulty in making the synced lyrics work, we have a short tutorial video on it. Hope this helps you. {Link in the note or here}
Q: How do I change the theme?
Settings -> Look and feel -> Select your theme.
Q: Equalizer is very laggy and unstable or I am getting a "No equalizer found" error. Why?
The Eq Music in-built equalizer was removed updates ago so the only equalizer you will have by your OEM or Android native equalizer which isn't made by us and have no control over them. So you can report those issues to your OEM so that they can provide a fix in the next updates.
If you are seeing "No Equalizer Found" in your device, this means your device doesn't have a stock equalizer "Equalizer For Bluetooth" Equalizer. You can try using this one. It's made by AudiosMaxs.

Q: Why aren't last added songs showing?
Settings -> Other -> Last added playlist interval -> Select an option from the list.
Q: How do I enable fullscreen lock screen controls?
Settings -> Personalize -> Fullscreen controls -> Enable (this will only be visible when songs are playing from Eq Music).
Q: Why are my gallery or random pictures showing up as album art?
Settings -> Images -> Ignore media store covers -> Enable
Q: Which file types are supported?
Eq Music uses the native media player that comes with your Android phone, so as long as a file type is supported by your phone, it's supported by Eq Music.
Q: Why is my device slowing down when I'm using the app?
Eq Music is image intensive, it keeps images in the cache for quick loading.
Q: The title "Eq Music" is showing on the top of the app, how can I fix this?
Clear the app's cache and data.
Q: My app is crashing, how do I fix this? (Sorry, settings have changed internally)
Please try to clear the data of the app. If it doesn't work, reinstalling fresh from the play store should help.
Q: Why has all the text gone white/disappeared?
Change the theme to Black or Dark and change it back to what you had before.
Q: Why some of my songs are not showing in my library?
Try checking up if those songs are not less than 30 seconds, if so head to settings -> other -> filter song duration. Put this to zero and see the songs that should start appearing in the library.
If this doesn't work out for you, re-scanning the media folder should help and subsequently rebooting the device to refresh the media store.
At last, resort, If nothing worked and your audio files are stored in SD card. Try moving them to internal memory then back to SD card.
Q: Why does my library shows song files twice or no song at all?
If you are seeing duplication of songs in the library or no songs at all, then it's because of the Media Store issue which got affected by some other app.
To fix this:
Head to your device settings
Open up "Apps & notifications" (This name depends from ROM to ROM)
Find the 'Media storage' app and clear storage (both data and cache) of it.
Then open the Eq Music app and manually scan your music from your storage.
Reboot the device to refresh the media store (Not sure if this is necessary)
NOTE: Don't panic when you will open Eq Music and see "Zero" songs there in the library. It's because you cleared Media Store which is responsible for recognising files on your device.
Q: I can't find the folder menu anymore after the latest update?
Head to settings -> personalise. And select folders from "library categories". If there is no option of folders, tap on reset and select folders.
Q: After updating the app to the latest version, the font got removed. Why?
Eq Music's font has now been replaced with system font, which means the default font your system uses will be used by Eq Music too. It fixes all font-related issues you used to face/are facing in the app.
With the recent Eq Music v5 release, we have a built-in optional font "Manrope font" which you can toggle from Settings > Look & Feel > Toggle "Use manrope font".
If you think the font looks ugly, then you just need to change the default font from your Android settings (or use any Magisk module). If you can't, there's nothing we can do about it.
Q: How to export playlist?
From Eq Music:
Head to the playlists tab > tap on the three-dot menu on the playlist you want to export > save as a file.
From Other Music Players:
In your built-in music player, there should be an option to save that playlist as a file. Save them and import them from the file manager by opening it into Eq Music.
Note that such playlist must be of your offline music only since Eq Music is an offline music player, not an online music player. So if your playlist is of online music, it can't be opened on other offline players nor can be exported
Q: How to restore/import playlist?
Eq Music will automatically detect any playlist file when that playlist file is stored in internal storage/Playlist. However, if it doesn't, just open any "File manager" and open that playlist file with Eq Music.
For restoring playlists successfully, the location of songs must be the same in both the "Playlist" file and in your storage. For example, If your music is in "Internal storage/Music" and the playlist file has songs location "Internal storage/Songs". Then it will not be going to work since both these locations are different.
