The Program Will Allow You To Download And Upload Lyrics To A Lyrics Server.

Woah,
Nice one king.

Also, one thing, U always use 'Batch' for your buttons. I know technically that's what it is but it's a bit of a technical word.

Why not just:

Submit & Get Lyrics for All Songs
Submit & Get Lyrics for Current Song
It's more plain english and more obvious as to what it means

And one thing that instantly struck me about this, (just a first impression) is the sheer number of buttons - it's overwhelming.

What about this for a layout:

-----------Submit -------- Get ------- Both
Lyrics [radio button] [radio button] [radio button]

------Current Track - All Tracks
Songs -- [radio] -------[radio]

[Go/Pause] [Stop]

(go/pause would just toggle depending on if it's working or not)

It'd clear up the GUI quite a bit?

Just a suggestion - nice work on this, I have TONS of lyrics from your original plugin. If you make this let me know and I'll use it to submit all the lyrics. Get your db off to a big start (I think I have lyrics over over 3000 songs, I cant remmeber exactly).

You definitely make all the tools to get your library fully organised with as much info as possible.

Soon all of our db's will be more information packed than AMG and such like

We'll be the musical experts.

great job on all your plugins

Can I save the lyrics directly to my tag from this?

Nice work man

Yeah it will

Sweet huh?

Pink Waters · « **Reply #4 on:** July 12, 2003, 07:10:40 am »

hope that it automatically store it on mp3 files

!!

nila · « **Reply #5 on:** July 12, 2003, 08:37:26 am »

All his others have, this one should do too.

KingSparta · « **Reply #6 on:** July 12, 2003, 08:46:17 am »

everything is Automatic

Stores In Media Tag
Stores In Media Center Database

If You Put All Your Files Into Playing Now And you Press Auto. It Will Upload your Lyrics To The Database And Download Ones You Need That Is In The Lyrics Database.

Currently I Am Writing A Program That will Take The Free DB Database Rip Out The Artist Name and Songname (it is working now). this will create a Huge List.

with this list I can write another program to search lyrics sites and download all the lyrics it can find.

================================

this lyrics finder seems to work and if you wish to demo it. there is a link at www.spartasoft.com at the bottom of the page.

you should first test it on some test files.

if it then works for you then if you could submit as many files you have with lyrics it may help the database i currently have (about 4,000 lyrics) but they are from songs that have hit the top 100

give good feedback not "this Sucks" thats not helpful

Pink Waters · « **Reply #7 on:** July 12, 2003, 10:18:24 am »

it seems to be cool spara

hope that would be integerated not as just a plugin in the next beta of media center !

nila · « **Reply #8 on:** July 12, 2003, 10:22:44 am »

Tommy

with the new way plugins work it basically is incorporated into Media Center - all the plugins can run all the time so he could, if he wanted, set it to monitor your whole library and set it so that every week it tried to find lyrics for any songs still lacking them automatically. Your library would then basically get more and more complete as the main db got more complete.

Downloaded the test program and Im getting Client Authentication popups quite a bit ...

Also had a few files download an HTML page from your www2.spartasoft.com site ... listing all the letters of the alphabet ... etc ... LOOKS like this happens when the artist begins with a number or a special character !!!

Pink Waters · « **Reply #14 on:** July 12, 2003, 08:20:41 pm »

How about adding a running total of LYRICS FOUND like all your other plugins ?

I submitted a dozen or so .. let me know how it goes .. ive got about 3600 to submit
Will you be doing cleanup on your end ? (ie, Initial Caps the words, change [comma] to "," and other basic cleanup

KingSparta · « **Reply #16 on:** July 13, 2003, 02:22:45 am »

>> ive got about 3600 to submit
submit them

>> Downloaded the test program and Im
>> getting Client Authentication popups quite a bit ...
what are you talking about?

if your talking about the registration page, did you register it?

if not i may need a picture.

>> Also had a few files download an HTML page

need artist name and songname so i can check it out and fix it.

I think that 'Client Authentication' comes when artist or song name has ´ instead of font ' or for example scandinavian letters (åöä)

KingSparta · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2003, 03:08:11 am »

1st notice that the picture above has been updated.

now the program counts uploads and downloads of lyrics and saves this info to the registry. it can also be cleared.

the version number is now displayed on the tab

"(" and ")" is now filtered out of the file name when submiting.

yes i removed abounch of buttons now there is only one.

Just put all your files in playing now and press it. it will not overwrite lyrics you already have (anything in your lyrics field over 19 chrs is not over written).

Like here in the title...

that problem has nothing to do with this program then

here is the lyrics for that artist and song as they are stored on the system:

Artist Name: Zombies
Song Name: She's Not There

Start Lyrics:
She's Not There
by the Zombies

Well no one told me about her
The way she lied
Well no one told me about her
How many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you about the way she looked
The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her eyes were soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
Well no one told me about her
What could I do
Well no one told me about her
Though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you about the way she looked
The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her eyes were soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
(solo)
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you about the way she looked
The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her eyes were soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

JiiPee · « **Reply #20 on:** July 13, 2003, 03:15:45 am »

Yes, "Zombies - She's Not There" is just fine. I just edited those scandinavian letters to what i was playing, so you can see what letters causes problems.

Point was that if there is scandinavian letter or the other font for ' that client auth... will come

KingSparta · « **Reply #21 on:** July 13, 2003, 03:18:25 am »

Understood.

But because there is screwed up text thats a "client auth" problem?

does not mean the same thing here

client auth would mean registration problem or when loging in to the FTP site.

JiiPee · « **Reply #22 on:** July 13, 2003, 03:30:34 am »

Yes, it does sound weird. I tried to get batch/get lyrics yesterday and always when my song had scandinavian letters the same window appeared (about 100 times).

Here is picture where i tried to get lyrics for the song with scandinavian letters.
I hope it helps

KingSparta · « **Reply #23 on:** July 13, 2003, 04:52:26 am »

that looks like it is your windows system security.

I am sure that has nothing to do with my program.

as a matter of fact it is a anonymous login

Username: anonymous
Password: = ""

did you click on the button "more Info"?

JiiPee · « **Reply #24 on:** July 13, 2003, 05:07:41 am »

It opens windows help.

If it's my windows system security, then i don't understand why it works with all the other(english languaged) files ?

I would thought that it has something to do with US and European key mappings.
But it's not big deal for me, because most of my songs are the english ones

KingSparta · « **Reply #25 on:** July 13, 2003, 06:07:16 am »

well the problem is nice to know, i just don't know what I could do to fix it other than filter out the chrs

Everyone current version is 0.0.3

fixes about 10 bugs.

make sure your using that.

JiiPee · « **Reply #26 on:** July 13, 2003, 06:55:51 am »

It works now with v.0.03

I just submitted couple of finnish songs with those scandinavian letters with no problems.

Then i deleted lyrics from these files and i got them back from your server!

This is very nice King!

JC · « **Reply #27 on:** July 13, 2003, 06:58:01 am »

KingSparta,

I just tried your new plugin (0.0.2) and uploaded lyrics for several songs (Garbage, Evanescence, etc ...).

The count for the lyrics submitted and received did not increment for me during this process (about 87 files). The two fields simply remained blank.

Nice Plugin, it will be nice to have a centralized location for all these lyrics when this gets finalized.

KingSparta · « **Reply #28 on:** July 13, 2003, 07:02:08 am »

thanks for the uploads

that problem about the counter was fixed in version 0.0.3

and i just uploaded it for download it should also remove "The" from the artist name

Like "The Beatles"should be "Beatles"

JC · « **Reply #29 on:** July 13, 2003, 07:02:08 am »

okay, I must be crazy. I just downloaded your file (the download lyrics finder.zip link has the incorrect hyperlink - BTW) and have 0.0.2

I'll try the OCX and see if that gives me 0.0.3

KingSparta · « **Reply #30 on:** July 13, 2003, 07:16:29 am »

it should give you 0.0.4 now

I added remove ", The"

JC · « **Reply #31 on:** July 13, 2003, 07:33:20 am »

Okay, I have 0.0.4 now (the download link still points to a file named "Download Lyrics Finder.zip").

On the setup tab, you have the button labeled "cover art default"

The incremental number work correctly now.

JC · « **Reply #32 on:** July 13, 2003, 07:39:32 am »

Also, do we create problems for you if we submit the same songs more than once?

I ask because I added a few songs to Playing Now and wanted to send those lyrics also. Since I can only send the entire list, the previous songs got sent a second time.

If this creates a problem for you, let me know and I won't do it again.

yes, i check for a few things.

I am striping everything but a to z and 0 to 9 now.

0.0.5 is up

0.0.5 should fix a problem with the program downloading HTML source into the lyrics field. that was really weard, and had nothing to do with the program but rather the server was sending an error message to the program and the program thought it was lyrics.

I have close to 40,000 lyrics on the site now, i started with about 5,000 this morning. been typing my ass off.

it is not on my other website or J river.

0.0.6 now checks the lyrics server for the lyrics before a user sends it to the server.

I also fixed a bad link to it just now.

cool work man but it has some issues:

too small result
if the plugin is downloading a lyrics for example to the lates song in an album of 4 songs and you clicked on the second song while downloading for the last song it saves the results on the second instead of the last.
songs having lyrics does not update them
must prompt before saving to the songs or make it get the lyrics and store them temporary until i select the songs i wanna update and click a button!

hope that helps king

give me a break, i'm working on it.

if more users submit it will be bigger.

songs having lyrics does not update them

I made it that way, i did not want to screw someones lyrics up so i did it this way.

(there is an option you can't see that already has the overwrite tags)

the fix, don't do that!

I will turn off the list or something.
