Lyric pane?

I'm looking for a simple way to add a dynamic lyric pane to any of the basic skins. I know that Monkey Rok does this, but it comes with too much overhead. I looked at the skin-development tools and advice, and it's clearly WAY over my head, so I'm hoping someone has an easier suggestions. Ideally, what I'd like is:

Lyric pane
- moveable, placeable (much like the Album Art pane)
- dynamic (changes to reflect the song that's playing)
- editable (ability to correct lyrics on the fly - since that's when I tend to notice errors).


Any thoughts (scripts :-)) welcome

A quick search turned up: http://mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic. ... yric+panel Don't know about editing though.

Hello. This plugin will do what you want.

Download minilyrics: http://www.crintsoft.com/
Then download the minilyrics embedder: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... minilyrics

Thanks to both! Thought I had searched well, but ...

I'm testing both, and both seem to work nicely.

MiniLyrics allows easier editing. Lyrics View looks to have lower overhead.

For the record:

I uninstalled MiniLyrics and kept Lyrics Viewer.

MiniLyrics does a lot of interesting things (e.g., nicely synchronized lyrics), and is very configurable, but it's more than I need. Lyrics are editable, but the changes don't seem to be kept in the FLAC file.

Lyrics Viewer doesn't allow editing, but it is simple and otherwise fits the bill.

I haven't tried Lyrics viewer yet.

What I like in minilyrics is the lrc support.
But unfortunately it can't embed it into the flac files.
