What this site does
Song Lyrics to Ebook is a browser-based tool for finding an artist or album, loading its track list,
fetching lyrics, and packaging everything into a downloadable EPUB file.
The result is a single ebook you can read on an e-reader, archive for personal reference, or send to a Kindle-compatible workflow.
How it works
The site uses MusicBrainz to search artists and releases, Cover Art Archive to retrieve album artwork,
and lyrics providers to collect the text for each song. Once you confirm an album, the EPUB is assembled
directly in your browser and downloaded to your device.
Why someone may want to use it
This is useful when you want an offline lyric book for a favourite album, a cleaner reading format than a web page,
or a lightweight way to keep lyrics with artwork and track order preserved in one file.
Suggested workflow
The most reliable path is to start with the artist, narrow to the right release, optionally add a Genius token for better lyric coverage,
then generate the EPUB once the track list looks correct.
- Choose whether you want to search by artist or by album title.
- Run a search and pick the matching artist or release from the results.
- In artist mode, filter the release list if needed, then open the album you want.
- Check the track list and decide whether to include artwork.
- Add an optional Genius API token if you want broader or higher-quality lyric matches.
- Create the ebook and keep the downloaded EPUB for personal, educational, non-commercial use.

Everything after the search happens client-side in the browser, so there is no separate app to install for the web version.
When to use the web version
- When you want a quick, no-install way to turn a single album into an EPUB.
- When you are on a shared or locked-down machine and cannot run the desktop app.
- When you want to preview a release and export it immediately from the browser.
