Hi ,
I'm using MiniLyrics with MM4, and it's working OK for MP3s (I want songs to automatically get their lyrics where possible, and save the lyrics in the lyrics tag)
SometimesI have to conduct a search, sometimes I have to save the lyrics, but on the whole it works as hoped, unaided.
THE PROBLEM is with m4a. Whilst it does (usually) automatically get the lyrics, it never embeds them. I read the forum and checked that update files when rescanning is checked, when timestamp changes. I'm playing an m4a right now (Keep a Secret - whitest boy alive). find more from same folder (explore) shows me the timedate stamp has NOT updated, as I suspect for some reason m4a lyrics are not being embedded...
I can't save the file as it's in use and I get the error
Failed to save embedded lyrics, minilyrics will try again later.
(the song's playing in MediaMonkey).
I can pause, wait a sec, then save in minilyrics and I get
embedded lyrics were saved successfully
(when I skip and play another song after manually saving embedded lyrics, THEN the timedate stamp updates and the updated tag info is available in MM)
BUT this is somewhat laborious.
Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve (apart from converting 7gig of m4a to mp3?!)
Aside from this minor annoyance, I'm loving the tool. I use the Lyrics and comment viewer script to see the lyrics in mediamonkey, and ideally I would hide minilyrics and allow automated getting and saving (embedding) of lyrics to all music.
THANKS
