lrc-fix

Fix encoding issues in .lrc (lyrics) files — auto-detect the original encoding and convert to UTF-8.

What it does

• Scans a folder recursively for *.lrc files
• Detects the original encoding with chardet
• Fixes HTML entities (ç → ç …)
• Converts and overwrites files in UTF-8
• Creates a raw backup before touching anything (raw-original.lrc)

Usage

python lrc-fix.py <folder> [encoding]

Argument	Default	Description
folder	.	Directory to scan for .lrc files
