Feature Request: Other formats of LRC

[Rahuletto]

Can we expect the enhanced LRC format in LRC Lib? I know I'm asking for something that's time-consuming but just curious about it.

or Walaoke extension would be sick too! Just a feature request

That would mean to re-write every entry in the database

Isn't it possible to have like enhancedSynced just like seen with synced Boolean value in json? As we return a plainLyrics whenever there is no synced? But yea this requires alot of work.

Would even make sense to have JSON (with timed words, multiple singers, and colors) or a custom format since it feels to me like both extensions are needed to not lose data from some external providers.

I think having Enhanced LRC support is good because then other people will implement it, and so more people will want better lyrics. It will also help current / existing projects (like Beautiful Lyrics, for Spicetify, which adds word-by-word lyrics, although not everywhere, and it only uses its dataset, which means some songs won't even have lyrics at all)

Also, I don't really think of the Walaoke Extension being useful, if anyone can elaborate why having colors for lines sung by males, females, or both helps.
Anyways, I can implement it,
I'd create a new key in a lyrics object and have an enum for the extension used determining its format, it would be one of the values from the enum, or if we want multiple extension support, we can make it an array of values from the enum.
Whenever a new request to upload / publish lyrics is made, we find what the format is with the following procedure:

• do one of the lyrics start with "F:" "M:" or "D:"? (then it's using the Walaoke Extension)
• do one of the words in the lyrics have text in the format of <HH:MM.SS> before a word separated by spaces? (then it's using the [Enhanced LRC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LRC_(file_format)#A2_extension_(Enhanced_LRC_format) extension)
• if not, it's using plain LRC.
  Then, whenever we get a request to search or get the lyrics, the key is in there, so API consumers can detect what features to enable.
  For compatibility reasons, the unsynced lyrics and synced lyrics won't have these, there will be a object with a diff to use for applying those extension-specific features. (you could just pass the result but that's boring, pro gamer 1234 save 1 kB of extra data!!) If you can't apply the diff because your diff applying library is bad or you can't find one, you have a Skill Issue:tm:.

also, it isn't time consuming, at least from a high level perspective.

Enhanced LRC would be awesome 👀

Having Enhanced LRC support in LRCLib would elevate the lyrics experience to a new level. It would make things a lot more flexible.
This upgrade isn't just about keeping up; it's about leading the way and would highlight LRCLib's capabilities. While drive more interest and adoption. Like in Beautiful Lyrics other media players!
I would like to see that this feature
