Title: Lyrics display and retrieve
Post by: NimbleRabit on November 23, 2008, 03:10:01 pm

I searched and while there were a few posts about displaying lyrics in MC 12, they were littered with people talking about "well this used to work, now do this, and maybe this" so I opted to just make a new post and hopefully get some clear answers.

What is a good way to:
#1. Retrieve lyrics automatically for songs as I listen to them
#2. Add those lyrics to the songs tags (so it doesn't have to retrieve them every time)
#3. Display the lyrics in media center.

There is no built-in lyric retriever in Media Center.  Some good third-party plugins do exist.

You store lyrics in the "Lyrics" tag inside Media Center (will also be saved to the file tag).
