What Is Composer by Better Lyrics?

Updated

Composer by Better Lyrics is a free, browser-based TTML lyrics editor for creating word-level synchronized lyrics for Apple Music, Spotify, and other streaming platforms. You import an audio file, tap along to sync lyrics word by word, fine-tune timing on a visual waveform timeline, and export a standard TTML file. It suits anyone who needs precise, karaoke-style synced lyrics without installing desktop software — though it requires JavaScript enabled in your browser.

What you can do with it

  • Import any audio file and sync lyrics by tapping along as the track plays.
  • Edit timing visually on a timeline with a waveform, so you can nudge individual words or lines.
  • Choose sync granularity: word-level or line-level, depending on how precise you need to be.
  • Split words into syllables for karaoke-style timing.
  • Handle multiple vocal parts with multi-agent support for duets, backing vocals, and group parts.
  • Preview in real time with animated lyrics before exporting.
  • Export standard TTML files ready for Apple Music and Spotify.

How the workflow fits together

The core loop is: import audio → tap to sync → refine on the timeline → preview → export. The tap-to-sync step gives you a rough pass quickly, and the waveform timeline is where you correct drift or tighten word boundaries. Because the output is standard TTML, the same file can target multiple streaming platforms rather than locking you into one.

Who it's for

  • Lyricists and translators preparing timed lyrics for distribution.
  • Karaoke and cover creators who need syllable-level accuracy.
  • Anyone syncing duets or multi-vocal tracks, where separate parts need independent timing.

Practical notes

  • It runs entirely in the browser, so there's nothing to install — but the page needs JavaScript to load Composer.
  • The site describes it as free; no pricing or account requirements are stated in the available information, so treat login or cost details as unconfirmed until you check the site directly.
  • Word-level and syllable-level sync take more editing time than line-level sync, so pick the granularity that matches your target platform's expectations.
