Title: Lyrics - how to view?
Post by: MrVegas on September 16, 2003, 07:08:52 pm
I just downloaded King's lyric finder and viewer.

How the hell do I view the lyrics (that I have found using the finder) for the song that is "playing now?"

There are a few ways you can view these . . .
1- Use the King's Lyrics & Bios viewer
2- Use one of the many file info templates in Playing Now that has a button for 'Bios' such as 'Nightlife' , 'Classic 'Clock', 'PicOS Luna', 'Dreamstate', etc

Cool.

One more question ....

How do I get Lyric Finder to find (or try to find) the lyrics to all the songs in a given album.

When I first installed the plug-in, I doulbe-clicked on a song in a Bottle Rockets album to start it playing.
Then I went to the Lyric Finder and *all* the songs from the album were listed in the main Chart Finder tab.

Now, when I try to repeat that for other albums, it still lists all the songs from the Bottle Rockets album and does not display the songs from the new album I have just selected.   ?

It's a known issue with the plug in.  To refresh it with the new contents of PN you have to close and re-open MC.

You can also create new visualization that displays scrolling lyrics, visalizations and song info. Just use Visualization studio. See how one of "damaged layers" visualization is made.

the program your using must be old, it may be the one on J rivers website. i asked them to remove it a few months ago but they have not done so.

thats an old plug-in, and was created by J river when they changed somethings around in mc9

both the new lyrics finder and chart finder on my website check for changes in the file list. also when you press the batch button it will refresh the list.
