About lyrics

Post by Seabottom »

I have on the right hand side this lyrics column as seen in this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/3XMX1JN.png
If I have it put to "Now Playing", skipping songs takes quite a while as it seems it's rather slow at loading the lyrics.
Having it put to "Selected" makes skipping songs instant.

Where are the lyrics saved anyway? I cannot seem to find any file in the mediamonkey folder or music library.
Also, from time to time, some album art will appear on the lyrics column and sometimes it makes the lyrics impossible to read, and I can't find a way to disable it.

By default in the music file.

As in the music file coding? I cannot seem to find the lyrics if I go to the music file properties.
Also, I was asking for a way to make the lyrics load instantaneously.

There's a Lyrics tab in the properties.

To overcome the limitations of the inbuilt viewer, try this:

Do you have it set to auto-load lyrics in the options?

Lyrics and comment viewer linked above is awesome. You may also be interested in song information panel. It doesn't show
lyrics and comments but most everything else.

Ah thanks, this is SO much better. All the lyrics are aligned to the left as well, I like that: http://i.imgur.com/nge8G90.png
Yeah I was using the in-built "Art with details" window apparently.

Although, now I have to actually play a song to get it to show the lyrics, but it's not that big of a deal.
