How do I import Lyrics into MC?
« on: May 03, 2014, 01:53:29 am »
Is there any automated way for me to import Lyrics for my music library and have those lyrics automatically embedded in the "Lyrics" Tag?

There was an automated plugin way back in the day, but I don't think it works anymore.

But, dig around on the Third-Party forum, because there might be a variety of options now.  MrC's pscriptor.pl might even be able to do it.

This is a tough area.  The content providers and copyright holders want to make $$$ from providing lyrics (via advertisement revenue), so they make this more difficult.  And violators are actively pursued:

    http://www.lyricfind.com/lyricfind-nmpa-team-up-against-unlicensed-lyric-sites/

If you are using Theater View, there's no good way to show Lyrics pulled in real time, because there is no plug-in or other to pull the lyrics (and show the required advertisements).  In Standard View, you can use a Link to search sites like:

   http://lyricsfly.com

These don't fill the Lyrics field, but can open a browser window to help find the correct lyrics based on the Link's search criteria, which is likely to be your selected tracks Artist, Name and/or Album.

Never really liked that one. I liked EvilLyrics but it doesn't work for MC (unless there's a Winamp emulator plugin somewhere).
