How does foobar manage to integrate lyrics so seamlessly with a plugin (Lyric-show-panel 3 - foo_uie_lyrics3) that's 3 years old?
It very, very rarely fails to find lyrics.
I've just fired up FB2K for the first time in months. I know the album in the screenshot has never been played through it, but it instantly found all the lyrics - no input from me - and presents them in a nice scrolling window, in synch if the lyrics are timestamped. It even has a nice editor to timestamp the lyrics if it can't find them already done.
IIRC To display lyrics it first checks the tags, then the lyric folder where it saves downloaded lyrics as text files. If that fails it then goes off and finds them *somewhere* in the net.
(Just looked at some of the places it searches for lyrics and they include lyrics.wikia, azlyrics, genius.com, songtexte.com, lyrics.fandom, letssingit.com and several others)
I like having lyrics - no I don't sing along
- A simple window that I could add to my views would just be a nice bit of polish to MC that I use exclusively as a music player
