NEW: Lyrics Lookup
« on: January 07, 2019, 11:01:30 am »

Now when you right-click a track (or tracks), there is an option in Library Tools to "Lookup Lyrics...".  It fills the "Lyrics" field that already exists in the tag.

This looks the file up from a couple sites.

Then you can check the feature to "Display Lyrics" if you're in "Cover Art" mode in the display area (where visualizations are, etc.).  They will draw next to the cover art.

Please feel free to post questions or comments here.  Thanks.

It's coming in MC25, which will be available in the next few days.

Wasn't there a plugin that did this years ago? I seem to remember it running into some legal problems.

I pulled up Joan Baez Blessed Are and clicked on Lookup Lyrics and - bingo - the lyrics loaded. Then I tried Eva Cassidy Live at Blues Alley and, unfortunately, nothing loaded. Blues Alley is a pretty well know jazz vocal album so I was surprised nothing came up. So I did a little searching.

Well, there are at least 3 azlyrics sites that I found - .com, .biz and .org.  .org does not seem to actually exist, except in searches. .com exists but Firefox will not pull it up - it says it is suspicious.  .org comes up alright and does have Blues Alley in it.  When I search on Cheek to Cheek (the first song on Blue Alley) on azlyrics.com from Firefox it does  find the song, but on a different album of hers - Nightbird. So, it seems the lookup may be using the .com site.  But since it does not have Blues Alley on it, I am fearful that it might be pretty incomplete.  Can you confirm which site the new lookup is using?


When looking up the lyrics, a count of the tracks being looked up is given, but there is no indication how many are found. You have to go look at the tag to see if the lookup was successful.  That is Ok for a few lookups, but for any sizeable number it would be nice to have success or not reported. I can envision doing a lot of lookups, especially at first, and not having any indication of which were successful and which failed.

A View option to see the lyrics during playback would be nice.

This is why I still use Foobar from time to time... Along with the ability to read lyrics outside the tag and located in a text file. (Lookup done using Artist - Name or something similar...)
It should read both synced (.lrc or .kas) files and unsynced (.txt.) files.

That would be a nice addition for MC25...
Thx for considering!

After some initial success with this, I'm now getting no lyrics at all...

Firefox won't load https://www.azlyrics.com/ reporting "secure connection failed", while chrome reports that the "page is not working"

However, it loads just fine in Safari on my phone. Are there limits imposed?

I tried the lyrics lookup using MC25 (64-bit version) on a Windows 10 machine. I only have a small library there but tried it for all tracks of 1 album. Worked perfectly :)

My main library is attached to a Mac so I'll do deeper testing once the Mac version of MC25 is available.

Although the lyric lookup seems to work very well it gave some strange responses for example The best of 1927, album artist 1927 gives some very interesting historical comments but not lyrics!

Last night, their website loaded for me, so I tried some lyrics lookups with MC...

Got around thirty tracks done, then nothing.
Refreshed the page I still had open in my browser, and it was back to "Secure connection failed".

No-one else is reporting any issues, leading me to believe there is an issue at my end of things, but for the life of me, I can't think what that might be.

I've just done about 100 tracks and no issues.  Although I did go to azlyrics.com a few times on my phone after reading your replies and a few times I got http errors, so perhaps their webhosting just sucks.

It would be nice if this could run in the background, without the pop-up.  Like the tagging, or thumbnail building can.

The lookup seems questionable.  I took a few tracks that I knew weren't on azlyrics, all by A Blaze of Feather:
  • Dust in the Wind - matched to Lost Girls by Cocorosie
  • More Than I - matched to Look at Me by Lil' Wayne
  • Seasons - matched to Awake Like An Owl by Andre Nickatina
  • We Were Here - matched to An Orgy Of Critics by Say Anything

This artist isn't represented at all on azlyrics, so I was hoping to get null results.  On this album of 13 tracks, these 4 seemed to randomly match stuff and the other 9 are blank.

These are tagged very cleanly, and even have the itunecatalogid filled it (which I verified matches through their API):

https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1244665689

}

EDIT: I went there and just typed "A Blaze of Feather" into the search box and the ones that matched those tracks are in the results:

https://search.azlyrics.com/search.php?q=a+blaze+of+feather

Is there a way to specify a percent match before applying the lyrics?  It doesn't appear that searching for "A Blaze of Feather" in quotes does much to improve the search result quality...

Can I ask if the lyrics are stored in the MC database lyrics field?

A few years back I loaded a bunch of lyrics in, from a plugin I believe.
Result was the MC database grew from 4MB to like 20MB, making library server clients take too much time to load up the library.

A 20MB Library shouldn't be an issue these days though. My Library is 32MB already. Load times are fine, even on Clients.

I don't like this functionality (I like the idea, just not how it's working).  I can't trust any of the match, there's no verification that it matched, the match % isn't shown, when it has matched, I can't figure out what it matched to, etc.

I don't think I'll ever use it, but I'd like to.  Unless there are features introduced that lock an artist to the artist in the metadata, and the song in the metadata, I can see most users being perplexed by bogus matching like I experienced (and the limits that appear to be occurring).

How is the search/ match implemented?  What is actually being used to do the search?

Could this instead be implemented like the Get Move and TV Info, where you see what's matching before data writes to your database?

Yep...Looks like I've been blocked!!! Just tried through my work VPN and the lookup works fine in MC and the URL is accessible through a browser....
Wow good thing I didn't try more than 300 songs!! Do we know what the limit is? What's causing it to block a user?

Personally I like the idea and is a lot easier than doing it manually. You can always change it if it screws up.

One thing is for sure if it's blocking now with just a few Beta Users trying it out I wouldn't release it to a larger audience!!!

If they have chosen to block people based on use, maybe it would be a good idea to contact them.  They may not be ready for the usage that JRiver could send their way.

This is a great feature that I'd love to see polished. Worked fine for Cat Steven's Greatest Hits (don't judge me), but for 'Til Tuesday's Coming Up Close it appears to be drawing from a tablature website. I'm getting the chords along with the lyrics.

I am having trouble locating "display lyrics" and using "lookup the lyrics." Also would like someone to make youtube videos to show everyone where and how to find things. It would be easier to visualize instead of a lot of searching and reading. I would like to know what you can do with the latest 25 version with cool additional updates. Thank you if someone can do this. :)

Please re-read the first post.

The first post says to right click on a track(s) and then click "Lookup Lyrics...". I believe you have to  right click on a track(s) then select Library Tools then "Lookup Lyrics...".  If Lookup Lyrics was the last action you did, then it will appear with a simple right click on the track, but only if that was the last right click action you did.

EDIT: Looks like the first post has been corrected.

Thanks for responding. I have made progress. Do you have to right click every song to look up lyrics?  When you go to player then display options, it has a check mark. But lyrics don't display unless I right click song to look up lyrics. I manually right clicked every song on a playlist to see what would happen. It does show lyrics from song to song. Is this the easiest way to do it ? Thanks.

25.0.25 (4/18/2019)

12. Changed: When looking for lyrics at Google, the language of English is forced (to avoid German, etc. causing problems).
13. Changed: Made Google lyrics work for a few more songs.

This seems to make the lyrics lookup a little too opened...It returns Youtube references and all kinds of unwanted results...Especially with french songs...

If you ever notice the lookup isn't working anymore it's most likely due to Big Brother Google wanting you to validate you're not a Robot.  As a workaround I just manually lookup with the link I posted Here:https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,119674.msg829828.html#msg829828, then find all the buses or cars with the anti-robot...:) and all is good..For a while...

Hi All, When looking up lyrics it would be good if you ignored everything in brackets () {} [] in the track name.

Hey guys,

I think I have solution for this... Try using VPN connection trough Germany. I'm able to open AZlyrics.com without the error message that page didn't send any data and MC is looking up for lyrics again without any problems. Even on tracks where it fails befor the VPN patch

Hope this works for you guys... I'm starting updating mine huge library now

I've tried it and it works. A couple of would likes...  As it seems now, this add lyrics can only be done song by song, album by album. It would take years for me to accomplish this in this format. An auto find or something similar would make this an even more assume feature.

You can do multiple albums at once. Just use a view or search to get all the albums, select everything and have it get lyrics. You can do it by genre, for example, to break it into more manageable groups.

If you have a problem with AZLyrics, please talk to them.

If you don't like the implementation in MC, don't use it.

You have zero idea what we do internally, so please don't make judgments about it.

I do not use it for this exact reason, which is too bad since I had looked for this feature for a long time.

Please, read the comments above. It is not just me. You customers are being harmed by your implementation. I would hope that you would be responsive to that. I am trying to help you improve your product.  There are things you can do to help the problem. Why do you not do them?

AZLyrics is a bad player as a website. Turns out this is an old problem with them.  And, as a banned user, it is not easy to talk to them. Please understand that.  You should not be promoting their bad behavior.

We have had this discussion before and it will probably go nowhere. But, I honestly believe their is a problem with the current implementation of the lyrics lookup and I would hope you would recognize that and fix it.

Shortcut "Control+Z" problem: If you get wrong lyrics stored in the tags and you press control+z afterward, the lyrics are not removed. Means changes before the lyrics are undone. Are you able to implement this shortcut also for the lyric tag?

I do get mainly the same lyrics when I perform a lookup on different songs - this one.

What we once thought we had we didn't, and what we have now will never be that way again
So we call upon the author to explain

 Our myxomatoid kids spraddle the streets, we've shunned them from the greasy-grind
 The poor little things, they look so sad and old as they mount us from behind
 I ask them to desist and to refrain
 And then we call upon the author to explain
.........


Any ideas why?

Could we please make the lookup user selectable and not dependent on the display lyrics selection under display?

It could be added under General -> Online Metadata. (Similar to the "Lookup cover art for files that have....(see attached))

I want to have full control on what's added in my tags and the automatic lookup also slows down skipping tracks while keeping the "Display Lyrics" on.

thx
