A monumental undertaking but I think you guys can do this...
more support and or features involving lyrics
1. either use the track pop up window tool to create your own lyric scroller for .lrc files.
2. or work with minlyrics for more integration so that when minilyrics is embedded it's features can still be accessed (ie write .vbs script like monkey flow)
3. or set it up so that when a coupled app is opened with or during the use of media monkey (ie minilyrics, monkeyflow, visualizations)
the taskbar buttons are collapsed like when multiple windows of explorer or firefox are open.
4. Whatever the choice the main display type for lyrics should be 'floating' , not embedded.
(some songs have lyrics and some dont care for them ) so when set to auto if no .lrc file is found , the float transparents out
This way no real estate is lost to yet another embeded window
A script that can scan the directory for .txt files replace the header with the songs tag (artist, album, etc) and then insert an arbitrary time stamp in front of each line and finally rename the file with a .lrc file type with the same tittle as the song.
The script I wrote for this purpose uses 10 sec as an arbitrary time advance per line.
This value, as far as I can surmise, must be manually adjusted later to sync with the song using a lyric editor (minilyrics) which is pretty easy but takes time.
So if you guys can figure out how to sync them great but I don't think its possible .... either way this is an easy script to write and would be appreciated
Incidentally I saw the other post about the lyric box thing in a tracks properties but I think we are talking about different things
which is why I started this thread.
So if anyone reads this and thinks its a good idea voice your opinion so the mgmt gets the memo
also remember the cover page now goes on all TPS reports
