ABSTRACT:
A method of aligning a song with lyrics of the song which comprises the steps of aligning each lyrics fragment of a group of similar lyrics fragments (C) in the lyrics of the song with an audio fragment of a group of similar audio fragments (A4) of the song and aligning each lyrics fragment of a further group of similar lyrics fragments (V2) in the lyrics of the song with an audio fragment of a further group of similar audio fragments (A2) of the song. The method can be performed by an electronic device, possibly enabled by a computer program product. A mapping determined with the method can be transmitted and received by means of a signal and/or stored in a database.
