MC 26.0.103 (64-Bit) Win- Lyrics Search
« on: August 10, 2020, 08:15:58 am »
Is the lyrics search really limited to 10 files because it will take the rest of my life to search all of my files?  :o.
I'm sorry about this being my first post.
Thanks, Joe

Atm yes ... otherwise your MC will swarm the lyrics server with requests for lyrics, which can result in your IP being banned from that server

Actually,  that behavior was only reported for one lyrics server, which is no longer used. The limit of 10 is just in case other servers are concerned about lots of activity.

There is an option to download the lyrics when the track is played. That means you do not need to download all the lyrics ahead of time.

Just turning on Display Lyrics is enough.  If they aren't already present, MC will download them.

Are You Sure About That JimH! or are you getting confused by the fact that that the lyrics lookup at playback option, if it is switched on, only works if "Display Lyrics" is also switched on. I always have "Display Lyrics" turned on and "Lookup Lyrics" turned off and MC has never tried to download Any Lyrics for tracks where there are no lyrics present!

There is an option in Tools - Options - General - Online Meta Data to look up lyrics at playback time. That needs to be checked for Display View to automatically search for and display lyrics when they are not available in the library.
