Lyrics Fetcher
Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:00 pm
What is it?
A program that fetches lyrics from websites and embed them into the ID3v2 tag. I didn't use scripts because I just hate VBScript. So I wrote this program. I use Lyrics and Comment Viewer and I made a change to the script to load my program automatically when MediaMonkey starts.
How does it works?
When a song starts do play it check if there's an embed lyrics. If there's not, they fetch the lyrics and embed it. You can choose and save your preferred search engine in it. You just have to know a little bit of XPath 1.0. Currently it goes with the Brazilian search service called Terra Letras. Feel free to remove it if you don't like it and put you preferred one.
If you want I can put more search engines. Just give me the XPath and the URL. You have to put the URL of the search engine replacing in the artist and the song name by {artist} and {song} (in the URL like this: http://letras.terra.com.br/winamp.php?a ... sica={song}). It will use the ID3v2 tag to get the names.
The program runs in the notification bar of Windows. When you right click in it you can mark the song as instrumental (it will save the word "Instrumental" in the lyrics). You can choose if it will show balloons when the program is downloading a lyric.
I've tested only in my machine so I ask you to test it out and if it crashes or does not work, report me please
Feel free to embed the program with your Scripts (just zip everything and make the install.ini file copy the files), to make your script loads my application just put the following code:
Requirements and Issues
.Net Framework 4.0
This addon does not work on Portable version of Media Monkey, because it needs the COM object registered in Windows.

If you want new features just ask here that I could try to do it
