Missing Lyrics 1.3 - Update 11/01/2010

[sa_ill]

So basically there is no way MM can save synchronised lyrics in its track, and in order to save synced lyrics, an external .lrc file sould be present, right?

[nohitter151]

I'm not sure how else I can explain it. MediaMonkey can only see 1 type of lyrics from mp3 files, that being Unsynchronized ID3v2 lyrics. Minilyrics can read 3 types, including ID3v2 unsynchronized, ID3v2 synchronized, and lyrics 3v2.

Maybe this will help. Play any track, then pause it. Right click in minilyrics and go to Lyrics -> Remove lyrics from mp3 file. If only "song;//id3v2/sylt/eng" appears, that means you only have the synchronized lyrics saved to the tag, and that the lyrics are not in a readable format for MediaMonkey. It would then be expected for no lyrics to appear in MediaMonkey and for that track to appear in the Missing lyrics node.

MediaMonkey can't save synchronized lyrics to mp3 tags, but Minilyrics can.

New version (1.3) is now available to download from my website. Changes include...

- Removed old MM2 code
- Fixed to only show tracks in the current filter
- Added update server to installation package.

Thanks to Bex who supplied the current filter code.

Hi, i am looking for a way to embed lyrics to my collection, both wma and mp3. It sound like I could use your scripts/addons for this purpose. I could not, however, find the script your referring to (lyric timer) on your website. I will download evillyrics and test the application tonight. Where can i find the "lyric timer" script?

Thanks!

Ah, unfortunately I haven't created an installation package for this script yet, so it's disappeared from my newly styled website. You can access the old installers here... http://trixmoto.net/mm/older.php?f=LyricTimer. This script doesn't embed lyrics though, it just allows you to add timings to embedded lyrics.

Ok, thanks! Do you know of any script or program that embeds lyrics into wma? I tried minilyrics, but that only works for mp3.

By the way, thanks for your calculating album art size script. It works very well!

MM embeds lyrics into WMA files. Why do you need a script?

hello rrfpacker & nohitter151 ,

i've been reading and reading your thread very carefully to understand how i can properly save my lyrics in the mp3 tags with minilyrics.

I'm still confused because it works in 10% of the cases...

- in minilyrics preferences i've checked only the first 2 boxes (synchronised ID3v2 & non synch ID3v2)
- i play each songs of the album for some seconds so i can check that minilyrics find every lyrics on the web : all is ok
- i rescan my album folder to refresh the MM3 library tags

=> still only 10% of the song get the lyrics saved in the mp3 tags...

where did i miss a thing ?

thanks a lot

From what I've learned, Media Monkey can only read unsynchronized lyrics, even if it is saved to the mp3. Mini-Lyrics can read and save three kinds. So if you are saving synchronized lyrics, MM won't see them. You have to be careful.
