Thank you for your answer!

This approach works fine when i'm working on several lyrics straight (e.g. a whole album). Then again, it's no big deal to change preferences for that time. A "save to tag"-button would help after editing individual lyrics (for example to a song that came up in random playback). I want the lyrics in file-tags to be reliable or - to put it in another way - I want to know that I don't have to change them anymore. So I would lose this "have I checked?"-information by saving everything directly to tags.

One more problem is that foobar can read from but not write to (zip -) archives. In this case no lyrics would be saved at all. (that point can be extended to every read-only source)


Regarding this seekbar"problem": I've seen the buttons you are talking about, it just would be easier to jump to the intended position using waveform seekbar. Is it a technical limitation or easy to integrate?

I just found a workaround for the seekbar: you can use the waveform seekbar and lyrics editor at the same time if you place the seekbar in a scratchbox.

But I still don't see why the editor has to disable main window in the first place.

It doesn't have to, it's a modal window, they are simply designed that way. Something about not losing the window behind the main (parent) window, or being mandatory to "finish your business" with it before coming back to the mais application (usually settings windows are modal, so that while you're changing setting you focus on that and make sure to close the window and therefore save the changed settings without digressing in the program)

Sure, but why is it that way? Am I missing any problems that could occur if it wasn't a modal window?

Ah, then everything is fine. I was just testing a bit and changed songs after 2-5 seconds^^
Yes that helped me.
Thx again!

They behave like that by design, probably the window you're referring to could be created as a regular window instead of a modal.
Honestly, beats me why it is a modal, but The Vern probably can elaborate more on that since he re-developed the plugin. I'm not that close to programming, just shooting some ideas here

Another thing about the editor: is it possible to assign keys to "Synchronise selscted line" and so on?

One more queation... is it cannot use for the music file .wav / .mp3 ??

I am confused because it should not depend on the format of the music file... but I tested with different file and get this result...

Thank you!

You're right: it should not depend on the format and it does not. The search parameters can be found in preferences (Lyrics Searching tab). By default this is artist and title (with fallback to filname). So your problem might be caused by wrong or missing tags. Or there are simply no lyrics available for the tracks you tested.

You also have the option to do a manual search in the context menu (right-click on the Lyrics Show Panel). Did you try this yet?

Anyone having problem with inability to find lyrics for some songs that are very easy to find? Are there sites that I can put into plugin additionaly, that are better than the ones included?

I tried "lyrics association" and it has no response. In "Preferences: lyric Show 3  >  Lyric Saving  >  Manage associations" it has the record, but the lyrics just do not show when playing .wav / .mp3. I tried associate other music in FLAC, ape, etc. with the same lyrics file (in both. txt and .lrc) and it can show the lyrics.

Thank you!

Even after waiting about 10 to 20 seconds? Depending on settings, the program might query all other sources before it shows the lyrics.

Did you try the manual search I mentioned before? Associated lyrics should show up there, too. It also shows which information is used for the queries.

And to be sure: Associations search is included in search order?

What about my "feature requests"? Any chance they will be added sometime?

- lyrics editor should not be a modal window (I'm not sure whether it's complicated to change that)

- keyboard shortcuts synchronise line etc. (if not already present and I'm just missing that possibility)

- synchronise line button should work on press instead of release/click (not absolutly certain about this, but it sould be preferable in most situations)

- the save to tag option in context menu


I also have one more question: "About current lyrics" has a field named "Quality". I don't think I've seen any value other then "Unknown" there yet. How do I use this filed?

foo_uie_lyrics3

Can you make it so when foo lyrics3 finds lyrics on lyricwikia that has the copyright thing that prevents showing all the lyrics that it will query the next source? Example page" http://lyrics.wikia.com/index.php?action=e...s%20From%20Hell

It displays a page like this:
Code: [Select]
Ohhhh...c'mon!

Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We[...]

Unfortunately, we are not licensed to display the full lyrics for this song at the moment. Hopefully we will be able to in the future. Until then, how about a random page?

Hmmm, is Automatic save to tag (when lyrics is not synced) not working only for me?

Why are there sometimes japanese(or chinese? sorry I can't tell  ) by the song name at the top after the lyrics load?

edit: Forget about that issue, it is database related I believe.

I had lyrics2 and it have a folder structure with subfolders, I mean  /music/lyrics/A , /music/lyrics/B, ....

I have thousand of lyrics files. I see that lyrics3 search a folder and save the txt in this. There is a way I can use the subfolder structure? or need I to move all lyrics to the root folder?

If we can not have subfolder structure to save lyrics please reconsider as request.

Thanks, nice work.

Don't think this changed between versions. Regardless, the dialog for lyric saving allows a custom directory and specifying the custom directory can be done using titleformatting. Should do exactly as you need.

@xbrtll:
1 and 2 - Yes, they're already done.
3 - unlikely to happen.
4 - perhaps in the future but not in the next release.
The reason the 'Quality' information was present was due to a previous lyric source which provided lyric rating information. The next version will contain a source which provides rating info.

@StealthX:
I can either stop it loading these truncated lyrics altogether, or leave it as is. I would have thought leaving it as is would be better - as some lyrics are better than no lyrics.

@Klapo:
I'm not having any problem with the saving lyrics to either tag. Make sure there isn't a lyric already present in your UNSYNCED LYRICS tag. Does it work when you right click -> save?

@jaedma:
As tpijag says you can use titleformatting in the custom save directory option (in preferences). Something along the lines of: "c:\music\lyrics\$cut(%artist%,1)\"

I think I can live with that as soon as I can use keyboard-shortcuts. 

It's just that synchronising works better (i.e. more accurate) for me when holding the mouse button and releasing it to synchronise line instead of clicking on the button. However, I'm not sure whether making it an on-click button would solve that problem.

Is it possible to add such ratings to ones own lyrics, too?
