I have a request, I don't know how feasable it is, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I am in the process of making a website with lyrics to ALOT of songs. Right now I have to manually copy the lyrics, paste them into a file, add a header and footer to that file, and upload it to my website.

So my request is if you could add a feature where we can export lyrics to a file (text file is fine) and append a predetermined header and a footer to the file that we set in preferences or something. This would make my work all that much easier.

Also, for some reason, I can't use the mouse wheel to scroll non timestamped lyrics anymore o.O. I am using the latest version.

Forgive me for asking, but aren't you going to use a db as back-end of your web site?

Nope, the main purpose for my site is I have hand written quite a bit of the lyrics myself because I have tons of demos / live / acoustic / alternate versions / remixes etc of songs. Each song has the exact words spoken in that specific file, and sometimes things are added / removed / changed around etc depending on the song versions.

Stuff like that isn't easy to come across on the net cause many people don't bother doing it because it takes to long. This is gonna be a fan site (not a general purpose lyrics site for thousands of bands) but it's still around 1000 songs+ at the moment.

I was thinking of using Text Tools to do this since it was header / body / footer fields, but it doesn't export to a file, which would be really helpful for me.

One other thing that bothers me is the inaccuracy of some lyrics floating around. no proper capitalization, punctuation, and misspellings.

A function to edit lyrics right out of the panel would be nice. Just open the txt or lrc file in a text editor

not sure if this has been mentioned, but when adding an offset, the embedded tag doesn't close the bracket on its line.

Is it possible to show lyrics panel only if lyrics are available?

You mean only export tags? That won't require too much work to implement. Contact me with PM, I may have more separate time since Sep, 15th.

Just since use latest version? or not?  I do not touch these code, I think...

Confirmed, will be fixed in the next build. Thanks for reporting.

Thank you for your replies, I will contact you via PM about the first request.

As for the scrolling, I am not 100% sure what's going on, but when I hover over the lyrics panel, and use the scroll wheel nothing happens. It used to scroll if the lyrics were not time stampped. This has happened since I updated foobar to version 0.9.5.2 beta 2 and uninstalled SetPoint (it was causing crashes in another program I use). Scrolling worked fine with every recent lyrics show version, and foobar beta 1, so maybe it's beta 2 or something causing the issue . I also use the Panel in Panels UI, but the scrolling doesn't work in CUI either.

I will reinstall SetPoint and see if that was the culprit, and I shall report back if it changes.

My thanks to the creator of this pgrm!! Works great.

I don't know if this has been answered yet, but is there a function on this pgrm to auto time stamp musics? And can it be used for text in Unicode?

I'm sorry if this has been answered but 22 pages is alot to scroll through....

No this lyrics component cannot time stamp lyrics, but there is another lyric component that can. It can be found here: http://foo2k.chottu.net/ (bottom of the page). I am pretty sure it is no longer being developed however.

On a related note, T.P Wang, do you think you could get in contact with the creator of the lyrics component in question, and implement a time stamper in your lyrics component also? The only reason I still use the other one is for the time stamping abilities. Or if you can't get help from him, maybe implement your own version that is similar?

It's very useful I think, and would be appreciated by many who like to display lyrics.

Alright thanks and yea an option to timestamp on this plug-in would b nice. Thank for the plug in! I don't think I'll switch to the one with timestamp since this one is nice.

Heh, I didn't try this plugin because I usually stay away from "modified versions" (often made by someone less skilled than the original developper who just adds a bunch of useless features), but since the original while is not updated anymore I thought I'd give this one a try.
And I must say it's really good ! I especially love the ability to update lyrics if it finds timestamped ones.

btw, where does it get the lyrics from ?



edit : two small bugs though :
-When you scroll with the mousewheel there's no limit : you can scroll higher or lower than the lyrics :-/
-When your cursor is over the lyrics panel it's as if the window loses focus : the highlighted elements in the playlist get unfocused.

ok I skipped reading the topic from the beginning after all these "works like charm" "it's great" "nice" replies.

So my question is: why can't you have 2 lyrics panels at the same time?

This is a really nice plugin. One thing I've found though, is that the left and right arrow keys don't skip to next or previous track when the lyrics panel has focus, which is kind of annoying. I don't know if this is intended, if they have another function on the lyric panel or what...

Fixed in 0.3.3.3

It's by designed, it will return focus while you move mouse out. though, I remove them now, it's of use if you use a notebook and without mouse(use key up/down, and in 0.3.3.3, you can use page up/down, only if Lyric Show Panel get focused)

A wild guess is that the implementer stores data that should be per-instance globally or statically, and thus clobbers himself hard.
Stay sane, exile.

0.3.3.3 seems to have weird problems. Lyrics that are downloaded seem odd. Not sure if it's the fault of the files that were downloaded or the component. Then if I try to manually download lyrics it doesn't seem to work or it's so slow that I can't be bothered to wait that long.

Edit: Hum reverting to the last version didn't change anything...

Same here, now i can't even download lyrics 99% of the time because it says it's either searching or downloading but it never completes it's task. I noticed this started happening like 2-3 days ago. Weird, probably something wrong with the server the lyrics are downloaded from.

It's just extremely slow at searching. You can force a quick dl by double clicking the lyrics.

Yeah, I've noticed it being really slow lately as well. This a new occurrence since it used to be nearly instantaneous. I think it must be a server issue (and hopefully it will be fixed soon).

why this lyric db is so incomplete?

Can I use another db to do the search online?

Lyrics grabber works well, although it's not time-encoded:

I personally try to get the time-encoded one first, and then if it's not accurate or it doesn't exist then I just use another one.

Can I request a feature?

After I choose one codepage for a lyric, the next time the component can remember codepage so I won't have to choose the codepage again?

I hope this can be considered.
