      If automatic cover and lyrics download is disabled, like this:

      There is no way to trigger the fetch manually from the Context tab...
      For covers there's an option in the Context tab: right click, search for cover art... but this opens a dialog to search for the covers. It could be just a one click action that does what the 'automatically search' does. It could be triggered by a right click context menu or maybe a dedicated button.

      For lyrics there is no such option whatsoever. The behvior should be the same as with "automatically search"... triggered by a right click context menu (Get lyrics)... or by a dedicated button.

      An additional challenge with lyrics is that if there are no lyrics yet - it's not obvious which part is the lyrics part...

      The UI could look something like this:

        Why?

        It's a waste of bandwidth (and unneeded load on the cover/lyrics server) to download lyrics and covers if no one is looking at them.

          @samo_dadela This makes NO sense.

          Disabling Auto saves bandwidth, but OP is asking for MANUAL option to download and presumably edit/embed lyrics.

            This is (in my opinion) the epitome of Lyrics functionality - if Guayadeque were maintained and developed I would never leave it.

            Where we see Lyrics there are some options:

            The Binocular icon triggers a search (internal). The lyrics are also saved to the file - so permanently available.
            The notepad is for editing, and the green arrow is to save what you edited/pasted whilst the second binoculars will 'search on the web' opening the search in a browser.
