Hello!

I guess to improve this, would be a huge step forward in comfort of everyday use of MC.

Suggestion: When a music folder is browsed from Explorer a right click on the folder and choose the "lookup lyrics" from the context menu would do the job much faster and comfortable, than the way it works now. This presumes of course that with this command the MC will look up for the lyrics for all the music files that are contained in the selected folder.

The other, that I don't really understand regarding how this work currently is that the lookup lyrics option is limited to work with max. 10 files at a time. So if I select 11 files it won't even try to execute the command and look up for even just the first 10 files in the selection. I don't know the reason of this limitation, but getting over it would be a good and handy development.

Hope you consider and thank you!

If I remember correctly, the 10 files limit came about because the requests that were being sent were hammering the lyrics servers that were used. So it was limited to avoid this from happening - note the servers are not owned by JRiver

An idea to get around it would be if we could batch then so if you selected an album with say 15 songs - it would sent a request to the server to obtain lyrics  for the first 10 and then  pause for say 10 seconds and then request the next 5 - not sure if that's possible though

The 10 files limit is because the previously used lyrics site was permabanning IPs of users who were using the lookup lyrics tool. It's there to hopefully prevent this from happening with other sites. In general it's probably not a good idea to run such a tool without a limit.

The site AD references explicitly says that automated lookups are not allowed. If MC simply eliminated that site, a number higher limit might work.  Given that sites stated restrictions, it might be good to simply stop using it, or make the sites for lookup be user selectable.

That makes perfect sense to me!
