OS: win2000/xp (not tested under windows98)
Size: about 72.5K
Author: Hero.Hua (major@sjtu.edu.cn)

(be patient to read this readme file)

Function:

Install and uninstall:
   install:   copy foo_LyricShow.dll to the "[foobar2000 install directory]/components" directly
   uninstall:   delete foo_LyricShow.dll where you installed directly

How to use:
1.Firstly, you should have the right lyric ( you will see the format of lyric file in the end of this readme file).
   You can also download another plugin-- LyricMake(v0.14, for foobar2000 0.8x), it can help you make the right lyric file easily.
   You can also copy these formatted lyric to the LYRIC tag (Lyricmake also can write lyrics into tag directly), if you've done this, you shouldn't need the external lyric.
2.After installed this plugin, if you have the right lyric, you can active the lyric window this way:
   menu: Components->LyricShow  (you also can define the shortcut key)
   OR
   context menu: ->LyricShow
3.If you haven't the formatted lyrics (without timestamps, just text), all the lyrics will be displayed on the lyric window.
4.Support mouse operation, in the lyric window, right click mouse, you can config some display setting.

Attention: 1.the length of each line should less than 120. if you use double byte code language, less than 60 is recommended.
     2. the lyrics can be in the lyric tag, also can be in a external file. They both should be the right lyric format(later you'll see the format).

Nice plugin !

Some requests:

1.Make the 'text mode' to display lyric from .txt files without timestamps

2. Make the ability to edit lyric text directly in plugin window

3. Add the ability to automatically download lyrics from internet databases

You can check that plugin for winamp - http://lyrix.best.cd/

imho the best. Make something like this for foobar and it will be great !

1st request has been beaten in v0.14, you can download it on 3rd components website,  , but not profect,  , I'll do it better the next version. LyricShow v0.14

2nd request was beaten by another plugin of mine: LyricMake, you can also download it on 3rd components website, if you have the right text lyric of a song, you can generate a lyric file (has timestamps) easily just by clicking the mouse while playing, the next version, it will add the generated lyrics into the LYRIC tag of a media file directly.
LyricMake plugin

3rd request has not resolved yet,  , I'll try to do it, you know, I'm a student, I'll take part in some examination this month... 

In fact, if  lyrics are stored in LYRIC tag of a media, when you downloaded a media file, the lyric had been in it, is it neccessary to download lyrics specially?
I really help all the website which supports audio media downloading could add the lyric (has timestamps) into the LYRIC tag, it would be a gread thing!

Thanks for the answers, great work !

Looks like "remember window position" is not working in that version of LyricShow

And also, add small button somewhere in the LyricShow window to call LyricMake window (i know about hotkeys but the button will be easily).

"download" feature is very needed, cos it bacame a "standart" in same winamp plugins a years ago. make it plzzz

EDIT: Oh, and i forgot: add the switcher to remove or show LyricShow window in the taskbar, cos some ppl dont like to see another window in their taskbars.

And also, LyricShow closes when i shut down foobar, and after restart it needs to call plugin again. Is it possible to make "autostart", to automatically turn the plugin on when foobar starts ?

The LYRIC and LYRICFILENAME tags can be defined by user.
default value: Lyric tag  is %lyric%, Lyric file name tag is  %lyricfilename%

I tried changing the tag name (to %lyrics%) but it doesn't seem to work (it reverts back to the default name).

Can you help?

Oh, sorry, It's my fault,
I've corrected it,  , if you want it , I can email it to you.
You know I havent a server on internet, every time I distribute my plugin, I alway disturbed Jan S, So, for this little bug, It's no necessary to sent a corrected version to Jan S. He is busy... 
Wait for the next version,  OK?

the resolution: you can change the tag to LYRIC in "Show file info".

, I dont find any bug about "remember window position", check the version, is v0.14? and you OS is 2000/xp?

I will not add small button somewhere in the lyricShow window, it looks a bit uncomfortable, 
But I would add a pop up menu, how do you think?

About "download" feature, I would think about it, cauz I never use WINAMP before, I dont know it,,, sorry, the websit lyric.best.cd I cannt connect it, why?

I really don't know how to remove the window in the taskbar while it is showing, I would like someone can tell me about this.

the last request, maybe it is necessary, you know , not everyone like a lyricwindow always show while start, I'll do it,  , the config dialog is almost used up, looks a bit crowded,, I have to adjust some control's position...

Suggestion:

what would be REALLY sweet was if this plugin could fetch lyrics from the web & have the ability to construct there url by using the build in script thing in foobar

example:
i usually grap lyrics from www.darklyrics.com

and it's build up like this:
http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/dissectio...mberlain.html#6

band/album/track number

pretty easy, now if Hero.Hua could implement some cool fetching mechanism all would be well

edit: would also be nice if it could save the lyrics on the local hd as well... just a though

or save the lyrics automatically (or manually ) to a %lyrics% tag inside of the file
