Searching DarkLyrics directly at the web site for " way lasting ground " as in Torava's post similarly returns the incorrect Sonata Arctica lyric. The site also seems to search for key words in the actual lyric and those words are all in the returned lyric. The site will return such a lyric when there is no better artist - title match. Therefore, this seems to be more of an issue with how DarkLyrics searches its database rather than with  foo_uie_lyrics3.

Thank you for update.

DarkLyrics should be called RandomLyrics these days. Be careful not to re-write your tags automatically with wrong texts.

I think lyrics_3 should get rid of those 'preset web services' totally. Look - most of this topic is devoted to mass reports of their malfunctioning. Today's web needs much more flexible approach like custom snippets of code for particular url/page parsing. Those custom snippets could be based on some wildcards or regular expressions, so that they could be developed and submitted by users to share (and update access to) their fav resources. After all, it's always a pleasure to develop a new language instead of persistently explaining that your component is alright.

For me, I prefer to add and edit lyrics manually. It saves me a lot of time  (for after all those copyright battles the web is full of copypasting ignorami which mixed up everything including even the fabs lyrics - funny but in most cases you'll see "I wanna be famous, a star on the screen").

Thank you for adding a synchronizer to your TO-DO list, as I once suggested. That would be really handy. I wish some genius would develop a reliable cue sheet splitter for foobar track timer someday, too.

And one more challenging suggestion - what about SYLT frame support?  As a matter of fact, foobar2000 doesn't natively support this frame for synced lyrics - it simply doesn't see lyrics embedded in this frame (tested with SyltEditor). By adding SYLT support, you could enhance your component's saving options in a magic and exclusive way - embedded synced lyrics invisible(=non-editable) in foobar/mp3Tag tag fields!

Yes! This is what I was talking about. Many files I download from the interwebs seem to come with these tags and I can't edit them, anywhere, it seems! Let alone see them [in foobar].

I second the thought of totally ground-up parsable URL "plugins" for lyric searching, but I have to imagine that being tough. To me, who has long since given up on getting lyrics automatically and wants them all timestamped anyway, I would much prefer the lyric sync utility. I have built one of my own in C# but have to use the system timer, which for some reason now I find results in timestamps being off by the end of the song. Didn't use to be that way, and I have no idea what changed, but oh well. Point being, one directly linked to foobar's playclock would be great. (Linking my app directly to foobar has proven too tough in C#, as far as I've found anyway.) I suppose this would all be different if there were a good consistent source of timestamped lyrics out there, but I feel like in reality I'd be more of a contributor than a downloader, haha.

In such cases, you can use free SyltEditor to export SYLT-embedded lyrics to a separate .lrc files.

Thanks for the great plugin.
Is there any user manual on how to user/configure it? My goal is to display lyrics based on <LYRICS> tag, and if it's not there download from internet automatically and save to <LYRICS> tag. Is this something configurable in this plugin? Thanks!

In preferences, under the lyric saving tag, select enable automatic save and then save to tag. By default synced lyrics are saved to the LYRICS tag and unsynced lyrics to the UNSYNCED LYRICS tag but this is configurable. Under the lyric searching tab set the option only query next source if no valid lyric is found and have the tag search at the top of the list and the internet searches underneath.

Thanks for the reply, I will give a try tonight.
Another question, is it possible to batch download and save lyrics for the songs I select in the play list?

No, this functionality is not in foo_uie_lyrics3.

Hi, thanks for the hint!
Isn't it better to implement a right-click menu to find lyrics in a batch like LyricsGrabber2?
I really wish that this feature can be for next release.

Is there a way to make this plugin work offline, and how? Saving lyrics in txt files and loading them somehow, or ?

Have you downloaded? The component's settings in preferences are pretty clear. Take a look and if you have trouble it would help a lot to ask a specific question.

Feature request: preference to define when lyrics will be saved, e.g., save on lyric download, save on track end; default state, save on track end, breaks external lyric readers on first play...

Regards and excellent plugin!

Lyrics show has a bug in save to tag feature – it messes up my tags. When it saves lyrics to tag, it also changes year value like "2010; 2010".

I noticed that it changes album artist value to "XXX;XXX", but it seems that the change is not saved to the file though.

I found it. What combination for *.txt filename plugin can recognize? For example, song "Artist1 - Track6", can he recognize "Track6 - Artist1.txt", and if the file is in subdir, like this "Lyrics/Artist1 - Track6.txt".

Second question is what is Associations search?

And third, how can I add manually lyrics to mp3 tag, I didnt know it was possible?

Thanks for working on the plugin.
I vote for adding tunewiki.com to the list of sources.

@Corey:
The plugin will load any file that has the artist and title name in the filename, irrespective of order or any other formatting.
To search sub-directories, go to the lyric searching preferences, then in the properties of the local file search make sure the 'Search sub-directories' is checked.

See #42 for the associations.

This is the same for editing any tag, via the properties menu.

@somy and torava:
I am unable to reproduce any problems with the tag saving. Are you certain this is caused by lyrics3? The plugin will only save to the tags you've specified in the preferences.

Does the search parameter fields in lyric searching page of the prefrences is necessary at all? Considering that %artist% is remapped to artist/album artist/composer/performer and %title% to title/filename (see reference) i have no idea what else should be written in the search parameters than what comes by default (by the way: due to field remapping $if2(%title%,%filename%) is identical to %title%).

Hi Vern,
I did some more tests yesterday, and it seemed that this issue has something to do with views or playlists in foobar2000. The lyrics tags were saved correctly, and the plugin did not change other tags in my flac files. However once the lyrics tag is written to a flac file, foobar2000 displays the file as having two album artists XXXX;XXXX even though the tag in the file has only one artist.
Another question if you don't mind, is there any plan to add the function to update lyrics in a batch in a future release? Thanks!

That's why you need to create it.

Right click on any white space in Metadata and choose Add new field...
Or click Tools / Ctrl+N.
