First, thanks for taking the development of foo_uie_lyrics. I've just updated it from version 1 since the recent problem with the databases (not downloading lyrics) and I like the changes.

Now, about the problems we have, I understand it's not a problem with the component. In fact, the others db included with it I've tested don't work. However, Lyrdb.com is supported and it looks like it works, but I don't get results in foobar. Is it that they took down the api support? (for example, this link searchs for Beatles lyrics).

Thanks again for your work.

Lyricdb.com has been working fine for me today using foo_uie_lyrics3. However, it has been variable  with the site often very slow to find lyrics recently, even if the web site is directly visited and manually searched. Increasing the foo_uie_lyrics3 time out to its maximum of 5 secs sometimes helps but often this is not enough.

Thanks a lot for picking up development on this amazing plugin.

One question: How do I cancel/delete a lyric for a song?
If the automatic search brings up a wrong lyric, I tried right-clicking "Disable association"
but the lyrics won't go away

I can't quite seem to find an answer for this anywhere. I'm tagging podcasts and DJ mixes with timestamps to show which track plays when. How do I properly do timestamps for times greater than an hour? Both this and my preferred oldschool foo_uie_lyrics don't seem to handle this. Is there a way to do it?


In this instance, you would be better served creating cue sheets instead of lyrics. Fortunately foobar supports cue sheets as well. Check out the HA wiki for more info: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Cue_sheet

As far as I am aware, the only limitation for cuesheets within foobar is where you have more than 99 tracks in a cuesheet. However this doesn't happen very often.

There are also communities which create cue sheets for popular DJ sets and radioshows/podcasts which could save you time if they have done all the hardwork already. PM me for more info.

You can change the lyric displayed by either
i) right clicking the panel and choosing 'Next lyrics' or
ii) right click the panel, choose 'Lyric Search' and load a lyric from that list.

You can overwrite any existing lyrics by right clicking and choosing 'Save' (If you don't save your lyrics you don't need to do this).

Hope that helps

Hello i'm using this plugin and can't get the lyrics displayed. Mos off times nothing displayed, sometime get this message "<a href=http://lyricsfly.com>Find lyrics on LyricsFly.com</a>". Any clues? Thanks.

Yep, you can do a search or maybe read the last few days of this thread. It has been discussed often.

EDIT: Your lyricsfly reference is just an annoying marketing message. It also means that you are not using this thread's component and are using foo_uie_lyrics2.

This database is not included in foo_uie_lyrics3, you're using an older version . lyricsfly.com is no longer active and has been removed in lyrics3.

Does any foobar (etc.) plugin read lyrics2 tags? I see that a few of my downloaded songs have those tags, but I haven't found a way to edit or even see them aside from mp3tag.

Also, I think there should be a way to disable fade for unsynced lyrics because if the "Lyric scroll (unsynced lyric)" option is enabled, the first line shows up as greyed out. Either that or add an extra blankspace option I suppose, that would also be fine.

The tag is available for any program to read/edit it as it likes. Whether any they choose to do so is up to them.

With regards to the fading thing, do you mean if the unsynced scrolling is disabled? If it's enabled the first line of the lyrics is vertically centred.

I can't get any results from lyrics3, as you said it seems to have problems with the servers.

Is there any plan to add more servers, or maybe an interace to edit for ourselves this server list?

foo_uie_lyrics3

As clarification, the component is not having problems with servers. The servers are having problems. Can't speak to what future plans are.

If you are aware of a server currently working that allows 3rd party apps query report it here.

More databases have been added (darklyrics and lyrics.wikia). I may add a couple more before release.

If anybody knows of any other databases they would like to have, suggest them here or PM me and I'll look into them (particularly those with timestamped lyrics).

They don't have time stamped lyrics, and I'm not sure if they provide an API, but http://www.songmeanings.net/ is a good source of lyrics of many genres

Do you expect The Vern to do all the legwork for everyone's random request?

As an alternative solution I use MiniLyrics plugin. It can download lrc files, and then they are displayed by LyricsShowPanel.
I just leave it working for awhile, then all new albums are downloaded it can be closed - all needed files are downloaded. It also has an lrc editor, which can be used to easily correct lrc. In free edition it has annoying pop-up windows, but again you need them only to download files, then  just turn it off.

I wrote a C# class for downloading lyrics from http://www.metrolyrics.com/ using RegEx.

I would be pleased if author could use this temporary solution.

Code-> http://ideone.com/riy2v

It exposes 3 methods:

public static string DownloadFirstLyrics(string SearchTerms)
public static List<WebLyrics> Search(string SearchTerms)
public static string DownloadLyrics(string url)

I just can't endure the lack of lyrics in foobar.

Cheers

@edit:

or is there a source code of foo_uie_lyrics3?

I just registered to say thank you The vern for continuing the work on foo_uie_lyrics#, it's really appreciated.
However, I have one complaint that seem to show up more than often and that is of course the scarcity of (good) search engines. It's a shame you aren't allowed to use certain sites at your disposal to implement in your plugin (coughsongmeanings.netcough), it's really douchey.

So anyway, thanks for your work, fuck the Lyrics Industry and be sure to include more search engines if you can!!

Seems that many rather post and use other's time than do a simple search for an answer. In your case, all you need to do is read recent posts.

Same happening to me. I'd appreciate an increase in the maximum timeout.

Another issue: there are problems retrieving the lyrics that have an apostrophe ('). For instance "Surfin' safari", from the beach boys. I have the following tags:

Track title: Surfin' safari
Artist name: The Beach Boys

With these tags I don't get any hit. If I modify the search in the "Lyric search" dialog with the following values

Artist: The beach boys
Title: Surfin safari

(i.e. "Surfin" without the apostrophe) I get a hit on the lyrics. Any clue on this?

This is a great component, these are minor issues, hopefully easily solved.

Regards

Known issue that author has addressed in thread. Believe a fix attempt will be included in next version.

Yes, that is what I meant, but I do not find that to be the behavior my plugin is demonstrating. If unsynced scrolling is disabled, it centers the first lyric to the top of the window, which looks silly considering the first lyric is not focused. So I would request that the fading be disablable when lyrics or timestamped, or that they start vertically centered as you report. Though I would prefer the former.

For the sites this plugin is searching, is there a way to contribute lyrics? I have tons of music I've stamped and have always looked for a place to upload them, but never had much success.

LyricsDB.

HTH.

PS: ignore that, sorry. I missed the (time?)stamped part of your post.
