MusicBrainz integration

It would be cool if lyrics could be associated with a MusicBrainz recording ID.
This would be especially useful for music libraries managed with MusicBrainz Picard or beets.

Second this but due to a different reason. It's common for artists to change their artist name, and sometimes even change the name of the song. It's not ideal to adapt to these changes by making new lyrics with new names. So instead, maybe store extra information regarding artist and song aliases when propagating the database? Or just like the original issue said, associate with one recording ID then do all sorts of things with it when needed.

I was thinking of writing a plugin for Picard that fetches lyrics from LRCLIB, having this would be really useful (assuming the plugin API exposes the recording ID, which I'm 99% sure it does), especially as there are often multiple releases of a track that will show up in the current LRCLIB API, often with the top one being from the incorrect release group regardless of parameters.

This looks like what I was trying to do, didn't see it in Picard's plugin repos. I'll check it out once I'm at the computer with all my music stored on it.

Tried it out a bit, at least currently it isn't of much use to me as it doesn't embed the tags in a way ncmpcpp likes and doesn't download a separate lrc file, so I can't use it with mpv. Probably could be fixed for my own use by changing some paths around in the code.
