# The Lyrics Multiple Item View

The Lyrics Multiple Item View is used to display and edit lyrics for the current file selection. The comments displayed on the Lyrics panel is the default lyric. For compatibility with iTunes the default lyrics are those present in the last lyric item in an audio file.

The table displays the lyrics found in the currently selected files. Note that an empty placeholder may be displayed to represent the default item. The empty placeholder is not written to audio files when saved.

A lyric has two fields other than the actual text field. The first is the Description field which is a short description used to differentiate multiple lyrics in the same file. This field is intended to be unique amongst all the lyrics in a single file. The second field is a three character language code which describes the language of the lyrics. The field will display the default language code you set in Preferences-Audio-ID3 Specific. You can leave the field empty to use your default.

All editing and manipulation is done via the context menu and is described here.
