  -d DEPTH, --depth DEPTH (directory mode) maximum recursion depth, default: 100
  -u, --update            (directory mode) rewrite existing .lrc files inside the
                          output directory
  --bfs                   (directory mode) use breadth first search for scanning
                          directory
  -q, --quiet             suppress logging output

Example:

One song

mxlrc -s adele,hello

Multiple song and custom output directory

mxlrc -s adele,hello "the killers,mr. brightside" -o some_directory

With a text file and custom sleep time

mxlrc -s example_input.txt -t 20

Directory Mode (recursive)

mxlrc -s "Dream Theater"

This option overrides the -o/--outdir argument which means the lyrics will be saved in the same directory as the given input.

The -d/--depth argument limit the depth of subdirectory to scan. Use -d 0 or --depth 0 to only scan the specified directory.
