Description

It would be cool to have support for this. It enables karaoke parties to be based on `mediafile` tagged files ;D

I'm doing some research how this should be handled in files.

The only thing I found atm is ID3v2.4 `SYLT` frame and that [Tidal for example sends to client LRC formatted data through API](https://github.com/FUMR/tidal-async/issues/3#issuecomment-841320004).

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by researching how time-synchronized lyrics are represented in ID3v2.4 SYLT frames and LRC data from APIs, then inspect mediafile's existing tag-handling entry points. Done means defining and implementing a clear representation for synchronized lyrics or subtitles in mediafile-tagged files.
