lyrics beta 0.2 works well but i feel that it can not find the synchronize lyrics (I mean the lyrics with time stamp).

I have tried with Within Temptation, Nighwish and so on. It just downloaded text file.
From now, i disable automatically saving in preferences ,lol

... it's not finding lyrics ... even with very popular artist such as Korn ...

Korn? Very popular?   
Lyrics3 = NOT guilty!

EDIT:
I just tried Red Hot Chili Peppers (4 old Albums), it only needed 1 second per track for 90% of the titles!
- lyrdb.com
  and
- lyrics.wikia.com

haha I am not a big fan of Korn, but they are very popular.

I don't know what's wrong then, but it ain't finding lyrics for me

EDIT: found the bug

It seems that the search now takes whatever is in the %title% field literally. I happen to include track number there (so ALL my tracks are taged "##. Title"), it seems that this conflicts with the search (this DIDN'T use to happen). So I have to use a new search syntax, which in my case had to be "$replace(%title%,%tracknumber%. ,)"

lyrics3 removed 'fuzzy' search that was part of lyrics2.

The fuzzy search in lyrics2 only applied to the local file search.
The most likely reason for the problems you're experiencing is the loss of the viewlyrics.com database (which has a really good fuzzy search).

<!-- PUT LYRICS HERE (and delete this entire line) -->

Fetched from lyrics.wikia.com. It doesn't figure that lyrics hasn't been written yet.

Also, the plugin seems to have problems with DarkLyrics. I listened a indie song called WAY - Lasting Ground which hasn't lyrics in internet but the plugin found lyrics. Not the right one though. It got Sonata Arctica's Reckoning Night. I don't notice anything common in those two.

I have the same problem.
Maybe, it is because some online database changed the interface to get timestamped lyrics. What do you think?

For example, lyrdb.com propose timestamped lyrics in the "karaoke" section.
In that section I could find some lyrics that foo_uie_lyrics3 couldn't find.
Perhaps foo_uie_lyrics3 search only in the "simple" lyrics database.

Can You please re-add the ability to spcify the filename for local file search? All my lyrics are saved as filename, but the plugin is not able to find it.
Eg.: I have "01 - title.lrc" for "01 - title.flac" In search parameters I have the default settings to let the online search work. In local file search I have the correct path (in procmon I see, the plugin requests a filelist), but the lyric isn't displayed.

Thanks!

Thanks much for this - looks very promising so far.

One problem I'm finding: when it finds a lyric, it always has the artist and title name appended onto the beginning, which I'd like to avoid. Is this because those are present on whatever source it's downloading from (I'm using lyrics.wikia), or is the component adding those? Any way to disable it (other than manually removing it each time)?

Thanks,

-Nate

If you check the components settings in preferences, there is a tab for save options and one of the options relates to save name.

I've tried modifying that, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. If it matters, I'm saving the lyrics to the UNSYNCED LYRICS tab, not a separate file; I assumed the "Save Name" section only affected the name of the file it saves to if it's saving the lyrics to a file, as it did nothing to change the behavior I'm asking about.

Well, yeah. Important details help prevent wasting of time.  Of course save name has to do with the saving of a file name. The info you are talking about is added by lyric provider sometimes/all the time. Assuming you are saving the lyric somewhere [do not know what an unsynced lyric tab is] then you can always edit your lyric after the fact if it troubles you.

Ah, sorry, typo - "unsynced lyric TAG", not "TAB." In other words, I'm writing the downloaded lyrics to metadata, not a separate file. But it doesn't make a difference - I get the same undesired behavior when I save the lyrics to a file instead.

I figured it was probably something added by the lyric provider, but I've tried looking at the lyric's source (as indicated when I right-click on the panel and click "about current lyric"), and it's NOT in there. That's why I'm asking; are other people getting the same result when using lyrics.wikia as the source for their lyrics?

I saw that, thank you. What's making question whether that is in fact the case is that, when I look at the lyric source, it doesn't seem to bear that conclusion out.

Example:

I run a search on a song. It returns as the lyric result:

"Artist : Tom Waits
Title : Chicago
The seeds are planted here
But they won’t grow..."

I right-click the panel and choose "About Current Lyric." Under "Source", it says http://lyrics.wikia.com/index.php?title=To...amp;action=edit.

The source of that page says:

"<lyrics>
The seeds are planted here
But they won’t grow...
</lyrics>"

I assume that what the plugin is doing, or should be doing, is just grabbing everything that's between the <lyrics></lyrics> tags, but what it's actually returning includes the extra "Artist : Tom Waits|Title : Chicago". That's what's making me think that it's not, in fact, just added by lyric provider, but being erroneously pulled in from elsewhere. Hence my question: are other people getting the same result from lyrics.wikia? I would think that someone else would have mentioned it if that were in fact the case, unless I'm the only one using lyrics.wikia as my source or I'm the only one who doesn't want to have the artist and title info appended to the top of my lyrics.

I also see the artist and title header with wikia in both the panel display and in the lyrics text written to a tag, as well as with darklyrics on the few songs I tried, but I did not see this with lyrdb for those same songs.  I did not get any search results with mirkforce in my limited attempts.

I have no idea of the source of this, since no setting visible to users impacted it as far as I could tell.  It doesn't bother me at all since the data are relevant to the song - there are lots of user-submitted lyrics in the databases that have lots of much less relevant or irrelevant information embedded.  I have no idea if this is new or has been the case for a long time - it's just something that never left an impression on me.  While I don't object to user control of whatever is doing this, I think there are many other component priorities to address first with the limited time the developer is generously spending on this.

I set the following preferences:
- only query the next source if no valid lyric is found
- tag search (LYRICS;UNSYNCED LYRICS) is first in search order
- Enable automatic saving checked
- Save to user defined directory

When playing a song which has the LYRICS tag, I still get a new file in my directory: can this be fixed? Basically, I'd like the plugin to NOT search automatically if a tag is found.

Also it would be handy to add, somewhere in the panel, a (optional) visual indication of the source of the currently displayed lyric.

Are you referring to songs you know are on mirkforce? Cause it seems to work for me...

Regards.

PS: mirkforce definitely works, at least according to Right Click -> About current lyrics.

@mobyduck:
Are you saying the plugin creates a new file every time a song is played (regardless of whether a lyric is already saved in the directory)?

@nate:
I can confirm the artist and title info is added by lyrics3.

@Peti:
Where do you save your lyrics? Is the artist name anywhere in the path? If so then it would be easy for me to solve your problem.

Not exactly: what I'm saying is that the plugin creates a new file every time a song is played, regardless of whether a lyric tag is already present in the mp3: can this be avoided?

@godrick and the vern: great, thanks for confirming.

@the vern: Ok, thanks. In that case, might it be possible to have the option to turn that behavior on and off in future versions? Not a huge deal, but would be quite handy. In the meantime, many thanks for your hard work on this great component.

Using v0.2 of this plugin, it's getting better... Few results but i'm hopeful... I suggest you to put sites like vagalume.com.br or letras.mus.br, in clemetine (music player for linux) there are some lyrics sites, maybe it's possible to make them work in this plugin...

thanks for updating

As a metalhead, I totally LOVE this plugin for including darklyrics.com search. Thanks a lot, The vern.

A few humble requests:
1. Ability to keep lyrics window on the screen (preferably on top of the other windows) when main player window is minimized.
2. Ability to control the transparency of lyrics window.
3. Ability to change the caption of lyrics window to custom string (with formatting like "%artist% - %title%" allowed).

Is it possible to add those features?

I found a "bug". When getting lyrics from the wikia, if the lyrics have one of those wikipedia internal hyperlinks they display the link. For example:

Quote
It's - my ability ta define phenomenon
Raw like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Crenshaw Crenshaw] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Masters_Tournament '84] or the boogie down before


Also, it's adding double spaces to lyrics from darklyrics.com and when I check the way it got saved in the tag I get this:



But if I copy and paste that here, see what happens:

Atop the shameless tower

With wings outstretched

An apprehensive shadow is cast over all

Drain us of our divinity

And

I use for lyrics the same subdir/filename structure as for my music (to distinguish different versions on different albums), eg. m:\music\albums\pop\artist - [year] album\01 - title.flac then I have the corresponding lyrics in m:\lyrics\m\music\albums\pop\artist - [year] album\01 - title.lrc, so basicly yes, the artist name is in the path, or if it is a VA album it is in the filename (in that case I have VA - [year] album\01 - artist - title.flac).

DarkLyrics is serving me wrong lyrics as well.
