ah ok....which one finds more lyrics?

[Lowlander]

The first and third option only work when the lyrics are stored in the tag. EvilLyrics could be used for that.

The second option uses MiniLyrics. It seems that people on the forum prefer MiniLyrics. I don't use any so I don't know which works better.

[theinvoker]

ok thanks....i'll try minilyrics....i don't want to copy and paste lyrics every time!

[theinvoker]

nice

If the lyrics were in the tags you could try my Lyric Timer or Inline Lyrics scripts. I'm also working on a version of Lyric Timer which will automatically grab the lyrics from EvilLyrics - without them needing to be in the tags.

i'm using minilyrics now and it works well even if it can't find many lyrics of the groups i listen to

[Lowlander]

Well a couple months ago the music industry decided to go after lyrics websites as they consider it copyright infringment. Besides I don't know what you listen to, if it's more unknown or local groups you might just be out of luck.

[theinvoker]

i listen to power metal.......mostly groups from sweden finland italy and germany.

When i used winamp i had "leo's lyrics plugin" and it found many lyrics...

[Lowlander]

You could try it with MediaMonkey as many WinAmp plugins work with MediaMonkey.

You could also see which websites/DB's the Leo plugin uses and if you can add them to the MiniLyrics plugin.

I listen to similar songs, and Evil Lyrics works much better at finding my lyrics than Minilyrics. You might want to give that a try.

I'm also working on a version of Lyric Timer which will automatically grab the lyrics from EvilLyrics - without them needing to be in the tags.

Oh, that would be excellent! Then I wouldn't have to open EvilLyrics every time I opened MM.

Sorry sublime, posssibly you misunderstand me. My script will not search for the lyrics, EvilLyrics will do this. But when EvilLyrics finds results it saves them in text files on your computer. My script will find the relevant text file.

So yes, if you have already found the lyrics then you will not need EvilLyrics running to view them. Maybe this is what you meant.
