Sent.

Thanks for looking at this.

We've got a fix going in the next build. I think there were empty characters (spaces) after lines that would sometimes split to a new line.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Thanks for the quick response.

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

If there's a line in the lyrics tag that is a little bit too long, it'll show "..." at the end of the line, so the full line is not displayed.

Recent versions improve on that.

Paste this lyrics in any song in your library so you can see it. A lot of lyrics do display fine for me, but occasionally I see lyrics like these which are not fully displayed.

Thanks for adding this functionality.
1. Is it intended anytime soon to show them scrolling at a consistent user selectable size? Currently it is a bit of underwhelming experience with automatically changing font sizes -sometimes I can't even read the lyrics.
2. Will Panel and JRemote support lyrics (and the first point above)?

Is there a guide available on how to customize the cover art view (e.g. to show tags)?
Should the lyrics also show up in Theater View? I played some music yesterday in Theater View but none of the songs showed lyrics (with the latest MC). EDIT: OK, they show up, just not always reliably when a new track starts playing that gets them fetched.

When looking up french songs a lot of empty space is added which needs to be deleted manually. Any way to fix this in the lookup would be appreciated thx.

JRiver's lyrics for "A Horse with No Name (Live)" track 50 on America's new 50th Anniversary album is displaying the wrong lyrics. Part of the fake lyrics: "Planned Parenthood helping plan miscarriages."

Obviously this is not correct. None of the correct lyrics are displayed for this song. I don't think the band will appreciate this. I sure don't.

Is there a way to make "Artist Images...." setting sticky?

Both lyrics and artist images are a nice new edition for display view, great work!

When will the lyrics function available for linux / raspberry?

Lyrics should work in Linux. Did you try?

trustear · « **Reply #162 on:** August 18, 2019, 03:01:07 am »

Linux/Raspberry:
Although it is possible to choose lyrics in the drop down menu with right click on the cover in the playing now section, it won't show up.
There is no menu item "Lookup lyrics automatically..." like in the windows-edition -> options/general/online metadata/

trustear · « **Reply #163 on:** August 28, 2019, 09:00:48 am »

Are there any new findings, why lyrics won't show up in the linux / raspberry edition of mc25?

lepa · « **Reply #164 on:** September 08, 2019, 04:34:00 am »

Maybe you could still consider layout of the elements also. As an example attached full screen images from current playing now and track info plugin by nnth with cover art and lyrics displayed

Dantos · « **Reply #165 on:** September 13, 2019, 07:09:42 pm »

Just reporting a quirk when displaying lyrics in case is useful to others. Apologies if already reported.

To see the right click > Dispaly Lyrics in Playing Now you must have the "cover art" ticked (not the same as "cover view" when right click > more > views)(see attached).

You get the 'default' presentation with cover art on left and lyrics to right.This can be modified by right click > Track Info > (style selection) BUT this automatically UN-selects "cover art" AND "Display lyrics" option disappears from the context menu. You need to manually re-select "cover art" to get back to the original view and this enables "Display Lyrics" again.

Or can we hard code a lookup that will get rid of the following text and empty lines as it will never translate the song anyway...:

Code: [Select]

Something went wrong. Lyrics weren't translated.
Try again
































Translate to English

Is the lyrics functionality considered "done" or can development be expected in MC26?

Will there be some way to adjust the size of the Lyrics text?

It is unreadable on my TV screen and on my little better on my laptop.

zzeitg · « **Reply #169 on:** January 05, 2020, 02:45:01 pm »

Thanks for this new feature.

Just one question: how can I prevent the lyrics being (auto-)saved into file tags? Could they be saved into a specified folder instead?

Not possible at this time. They are very small.

Hello,
I have the same problem on my desktop machine.
The place next to the album cover is more than enough, but the lyrics are this small, that I cannot read them.
See attached screenshot.
Scaling text for the application does not affect the lyrics.
Is there a way to change it or does this need some development?
Still valid for version 26.0.22 x64 Windows.

Thank you.

I know working with formatting codes probably isn't the most exciting work, but the lyrics display could really use another pass. I like having the lyrics, but it completely mucks up the display. Could we get some more intelligent formatting that better uses the available space? Maybe an option to post lyrics beneath the cover instead of to the right?

For the classical music listeners...what about program notes? Sometimes for Chandos they get in by themselves (can't figure out how I can make it happen), and appear as a paperclip on the remote JRiver. And then sometimes they show up in "comments." Using the "import lyrics" does not seem to work consistently (or at all). Is there something I am missing? Many thanks.

ManOnTheMoon · « **Reply #174 on:** May 01, 2020, 06:48:04 am »

This is an awesome feature! Thank you for adding it.

What would really be nice is if there was a way to update the lyric field in the ID3 tag through JRiver....

Thank you for all your awesome work on JRiver!

JimH · « **Reply #175 on:** May 01, 2020, 07:10:09 am »

Lyrics are downloaded if available. Just turn on the feature.

trustear · « **Reply #176 on:** July 14, 2020, 08:03:37 am »

Since yesterday lyrics import does not work anymore. found out, that some lyrics-provider block my ip by now. so this function won't be available anymore. built 25.0.114

Any ideas?

Richard@Harbury · « **Reply #177 on:** November 26, 2020, 04:19:23 am »

I can't find how to scroll through the lyrics if display is set to every x lines which creates pages of lyrics.
Or is it possible to auto scroll somehow?

Marpow · « **Reply #178 on:** December 04, 2020, 09:34:23 am »

Lyrics not working anymore, MC27. Just get a bunch of sentences from different lyric databases.

I couldn't figure this out, either. When I change it to show pages, I see a "1 of 2" or "1 of 4" at the end of the displayed lyrics. But I can't figure out how to show the other pages.

JimH · « **Reply #180 on:** March 08, 2021, 02:05:46 pm »

It should scroll as the song plays.

The Big Labinski · « **Reply #181 on:** May 05, 2021, 08:34:47 am »

I have now a somehow funny behavior - when MC looks for lyrics I get more and more this phrase downloaded -"Learn more" - instead of the song text's.
Does somebody know why?
