How to Install a Song on Xiaomi: All Ways to MIUI 14 and 15

You listen to a favorite song on Xiaomi and want to sing along, but there is no text on the screen? The problem is familiar to many - the standard MIUI player does not always automatically load words. In this article, we will discuss all the working ways to add song lyrics to Redmi, POCO and Xiaomi smartphones (including models from 2023-2026). From built-in features to third-party applications, choose the method that is right for you.

Important: the operating algorithms depend on the version of MIUI (14 or 15) and the firmware region. For example, in global versions of the Mi Music player, the text sync function can be disabled by default. We tested the instructions on the Xiaomi 13 Pro, Redmi Note 12 and POCO F5 - all methods work, but some require additional adjustments.

1. Built-in Mi Music player: how to include song lyrics

The standard Mi Music app (or Russian firmware) can show lyrics, but this feature is often hidden.

Open the player and play the track. If the lyrics don't appear automatically, tap the three dots in the top right corner → select Settings → Show the lyrics of the song. Some versions take a different path: Settings → Additional → Song lyrics.

• 🔍 Real-time text search: If the option is enabled, the player will try to download words from the Xiaomi database).
• 📁 Local files: If you have a file with text (.lrc format), place it in the same folder as the audio file and name it the same (for example, the file is not a file with text, song.mp3 song.lrc).
• 🌐 Text language: in the player settings, you can select a priority language (English, Russian, Chinese, etc.).

In MIUI 15, the global version of the auto search function works only when connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi – mobile traffic is blocked to save data.

💡

If the text is displayed non-synchronously, try manually shifting the timing in the player settings (the option "Sync Adjustment").

Step 2: Format text to.lrc using online converters (e.g. LRC Generator) or manually. Example format:

[00:15.80] They burn like two suns in the night.

Step 3: Save the file with the.lrc extension and the same name as the audio file (e.g. track1.mp3 and track1.lrc).

Important: Some players (like Poweramp) require.lrc files to be in the /Lyrics/ folder on the internal drive, and create it manually if the text is not loaded.

4. Applications for automatic downloading of texts

If you don't want to mess with.lrc files, install a specialized text search app.

5.Song lyrics on Spotify and YouTube Music
