Unfortunately, you're probably going to have to know how if you want a good answer to that.
Eg, what exactly do you want to store? If it's just lyrics, what's wrong with simple posts?
Album/Song Name: TextBox
Album/Song Image: Image Attach/External
Album/Song Details: TextArea
Album Audio/Listen Now: Link/Audio widget
Album Video/Watch Now: YouTube or Other video embedding
Album Rating: Stars or 1to5 rating
Lyrics: TextArea
Share: Buttons
Other songs: Links to other posts of tracklist related to this song.
is enough. I'm also looking for this.

Not quite sure what you mean by the "lyrics database". Like Yumi said, if it is just lyrics, I think you can do it with a simple post? But if you want to use a "special" layout for that forum, and add other things like music genre category, artist and etc, you can use XThreads for that.

For Album/Song Name, yes, I think we can use the default MyBB thread subject textbox, because user can search song title/name with it, just enable the XThreads Inline Forum Search feature for that forum id.
And yes, for Album Rating, we can use the default MyBB thread rating feature.
Maybe we can modify this XThreads example for that:

Yep. Thanks RateU. This can suite the layout we require.
Mark2x, i hope you are also after the same layout i said.
Well, RateU. Can we have tags capability, so we can add album name, singers, .... so when one clicks on the labels shows the respective songs? Just like blogspot functionality.
Well, all the info we need to make this music site layout is already in the examples RateU has provided/quoted.
Its like I said before, you need to mix and match and design the layout yourself. It could be your contribution to the Xthreads forum templates setups rather than expecting RateU to do them all.
Well here is what i kinda want. Though i think thats past Xthreads needs.
I want the forum, then i want a place where it kinda looks like a lyrics site or script, so search engines eat it up, with a few comments that make it tempting for users to join.
If worst comes to worst, i wouldn't mind paying for a quality (Then released to the community) addon for mybb.
Really, I don't know whatever fields you need for this.
Do you want only lyrics?
Or you want to add the singer name too?
How the layout you want?
