Via add/remove programs in the windows control panel.

If you don't notice, in the bottom right is my embedded MiniLyrics panel. It's working perfectly, except it's showing as an actually window, i.e.: minimize, exit, maximize buttons, instead of having a clean space showing only the lyrics. Does anyone else have this issue, and how did you fix it?

Change the minilyrics skin. You probably have it set to "Windows" or something, I find that "Plain" works/looks best with the embedder.

You change the Minilyrics skin via right-click.

Thanks again

You need to rescan the files or enable File monitor.

/thanks. After reading lyricator, and given my (growing) problems I may give it a go/

I was using the comments and lyrics viewer to show the lyrics in an MM panel, and it WAS refreshing unassisted, usually when the lyrics were obtained (via minilyrics) and saved to the tags (does anyone know if this happens when the song ends or ends because you skip to another song? I think I had to manually save lyrics to embed and prompt lyrics viewer to obtain new lyrical tag data.

LATELY, I think lyrics are getting got, and saved to tag (and files in c:\lyrics) but MM isn't showing the lyrics. At all. Minilyric is there, and viewing the lyric tag data via file properties in explorer,for example, confirms lyrics have been written, the time date stamp is reflecting this... but no lyrics.

Any ideas?

Thanks again

Just noticed this... If you are not using Minilyrics to actually view the lyrics, then why use it at all? You are better off using Lyricator if you are just viewing static lyrics.

Are you using the latest version of Minilyrics that is available? m4a tagging was only added recently as a new feature, previously tagging only worked on mp3 files.

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

I'm trying to use this, and I think I installed everything correctly, but when I search lyrics and click open, the lyrics panel stays blank. I've tried a selecting a different skin as suggested in the first post with no luck. Any suggestions?

Sorry, but no. I don't think the Minilyrics dev had MM Virtual CD in mind when developing the plugin.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this question.

I am using Virtual CD and Embedded Minilyrics. When I use a standard mp3 file, everything works fine.
But when I choose Lyrics -> Save Lyrics in Song File... for a song on Virtual CD, I get the following error:
This file doesn't support embedded lyrics.

I suppose this is because Mediamonkey refers to the CD file (.cda) and Minilyrics tries to use this file to save the lyrics to.

Is there a way to make Minilyrics to use the mp3 file on Virtual CD in stead?

Hello Mache. Minilyrics, and the MediaMonkey script to embed it, are 2 seperate things. Suggestions for MiniLyrics can be sent to http://www.crintsoft.com. Suggestions concerning the embedder can be posted here.

I'm not really sure what happened to you. Either MiniLyrics was closed, or the MiniLyrics Embedder panel in MediaMonkey was hidden. I've changed the first post to make it more clear how to recover in both those cases. Is that what happened and are the instructions/troubleshooting clear/complete enough? If not, do you have a suggestion to improve it?
