Lyrics in subscription version but not in purchased version

This has been bothering me a long time. I see that it bothers other people too. The solutions provided here do not address the issue in the least. So I'm going to try.


I subscribe to Apple Music. Before I subscribed, I used to purchase my music from Apple, apparently before lyrics were included. Now I have thousands of songs at up to $1.29 each that are missing lyrics. However the subscription version has the lyrics. In order to get the lyrics I have to go through a bunch of really tedious steps. Thousands of dollars and hours of organization are at risk. I'm hoping someone can offer a simple solution that I haven't thought of yet.


Here's what I'm doing now:




  1. Delete 3,342 purchased versions from my library, songs that I paid about up to $1.29 each for
  2. Keep track of them all somehow, including any of my highly extensive tagging
  3. Manually add 3,342 subscription versions to my library
  4. Add back all of my tagging
  5. Ask myself what happens when I stop subscribing and those songs/albums/entire decades disappear from my library
  6. Get angry
