On the future version of moOde will be option readeing lirycs (text) from media files.
Please write your opinion about this option. Have you this option or not
I have many (about 9k) files with build lyrics and covers in media files.
Any known program can't present this data (only one - PowerAmp for android).

I'm guessing that players that display lyrics are prolly doing a web lookup to one of the sites that offers lyrics since as you point out there's no support for the tag(s) in MPD. If the site is any good they will probably require an auth token and will have a license of some sort. Good side project for a willing dev.

Rather, I mean that standards allow adding to the sound files also other information (tags), eg covers, or song lyrics. Of course, I was probably misunderstood because my suggestion is an option (optional or not by the user), and if an audio file already has additional information, e.g. song lyrics, why it could not be displayed, of course only after setting this option global.
He took my idea, so I do not understand those who write that you do not need such a function. Nobody forces anyone to do this option in the program!
That's it in the subject, I'm sorry for daring you to go with such an idea.
At least I hope that the covers will be read properly embedded in sound files, as other programs do.

Generally moOde reads embedded covers without any problem whatsoever. Reports of issues have been infrequent over the past 4 years and 99% of the time the issues that are reported are due to corrupt files or non-standard metadata headers.
Other players may use cover extraction code thats customized to be more tolerant of non-standard headers than the code moOde uses which is based on the Zend Media class libraries. These class libraries implement the audio format standards. I can never rule out bugs even in Zend but there are simply not enough trouble reports to warrant an investigation.
As far as options go, anything can be made an option in moOde. We try to include options that are the most useful, interesting and that most users want.
