Hi. I have just started using Doof's lyrics editor and I like it a lot.  I do have a recurring problem, when I click search for lyrics and I select certian sites like Lyricsmode.com it locks up and I have to kill MC.  It seems that the sites that do not allow you to highlight and copy the lyrics create this problem but not all of them.

Also, is there a way to just list the songs that do not have lyrics?  I use the highlight mode and that is wonderful but I still have to scroll through 14,000 songs.  Another feature that would be nice is the ability to select and play a song on the list.

Thanks!

For the second part of your question, I use a smartlist. The smartlist has only music with missing lyrics. You can select the smartlist from Lyrics Editor (it's at the top) or drive it from playing now. If you use playing now, just play your smartlist.

I missed the questio - ability to select and play a song on the list.

When you have Lyrics Editor open, you can select a track. If you press the button called Preview, it will play that track.

Thanks Magic_Randy !!

As I said, I just started using it so preview solves that problem.  After a couple of years of primarily ripping CD's, building the database, rating songs and generally filling in all the blanks I am finally moving beyond the basics stage and learning and using some of the audio features in MC.  As yet I haven't pushed all the buttons just to see what happens yet. 

Any ideas or experience with crashing when you go to sites like lyricsmode.com?

I only have 1 idea regarding problems with searching - and your lockups.

When you use Lyrics Editor, you can use the internal web browser or link out to your standard browser.

I do not use the internal browser. I'm not sure why, but I know there was some problem. You may want to experiment with this option.

Lyrics Editor--> Options-->Miscellaneous-->uncheck "Use internal web browser for searches"
