Optional "Song Package" export: download lyrics and metadata as a .txt alongside the .mp3

Request: Add an optional "Song Package" download so that when a user downloads a song, they can also get a companion .txt file containing the song info Songer already stores and displays.

Example:

  • waylons_way_back_home.mp3

  • waylons_way_back_home.txt

Proposed .txt contents: TITLE CREATED (date/time) CHARACTERS GENRES LANGUAGE VOCALIST SOURCE PROMPT LYRICS

Problem it solves: Right now only the audio file is preserved on download. The title, creation date, genres, language, vocalist setting, prompt, and lyrics stay locked inside the platform. As libraries grow, creators have to come back into Songer to look up details that were already available at creation time.

A specific pain point raised by the requester: songs often change titles during the creation process, which makes the original metadata and lyrics harder to track down later. The info can still be found within Songer, but a companion .txt at download time would remove that backtracking step entirely. Songwriters frequently have several songs in progress at once, so this adds up quickly.

Value:

  • Creators can organize and manage their catalog outside the platform

  • Metadata travels with the audio rather than living only in song history

  • Long-term preservation of full song info (lyrics, genres, language, vocal settings, creation details)

  • Reduces backtracking when titles change mid-process

  • Increases value per download: each song becomes a complete asset, not just an MP3

Implementation note from the requester: the .txt would simply export data Songer already stores and shows, so complexity should be relatively low.
