looks like the Google code page has gone down.

i still have the 0.4.6.15 zip file from April.

i threw it up here (not sure how long til that link expires):
foo_uie_lyrics2_0.4.6.15.zip - 443.3 KB

i suppose someone would have to check with a mod if it is OK to repost it to the forums Uploads section.
(in case anyone has a problem with me reposting it on uploading.com, just PM me and I'll delete it)

Hi,

Somebody asked me for the source code. Well, here it is:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5334415/foo_uie_ly...4.6.15)_src.zip (DropBox folder)

Here there is one (nice) idea for the plugin: Make modules for the plugin (lyric sources), and add them priorities, example:

**Main configuration page:
*Automatic search [list with modules]:
- [MODULE] Lyrics Cache.
- [MODULE] Tags
- [MODULE] Local Database (Cool)
- [MODULE] File (.lrc ; .txt)

Every module will have it's own configuration page and can be enabled or disabled; Refer to DSP configuration at foobar's preference page for a full functional example.


I hope my idea can help someone.

Bye

Some songs don't get the lyrics properly unless I "online search" and download them using alternate names. However, when I play the song again, the lyrics didn't save. How do I save those lyrics?

Is it possible to add a context menu "setting" in "view"->"lyrics show 2" instead of right-click on the panel? Since I use interface Spotifoo, the setting becomes inconvenience.

Thanks for uploading the latest version.  I haven't had any crashes, but I have one problem that I can't figure out.  Lyrics embedded as tags in mp3 files don't appear in the panel, even though they are clearly there.  Lyrics embedded in FLAC files show up fine.

Anyone else experience this, and if so, did you find a way to see mp3 embedded lyrics?  thanks!

Do you still have this problem after working through the components configuration preferences/settings?

I still have my problem that tags embedded in mp3 files will not display, while embedded flac lyrics continue to display.  The only way to get mp3 lyrics to display is to allow the panel to download it again - a lyric from a web source will display for mp3 files, and is currently the only way that seems to work for mp3 files for me.

It seems like the panel is ignoring my search order, which specifies looking for embedded tags first, or can't find or read mp3 tags for some reason.

I keep lyrics tags in three fields that I specify in the panel's tag search settings:

lyrics;unsynced lyrics;unsyncedlyrics

I use the lyrics tag for synced lyrics in both mp3 and flac files, I use the unsynced lyrics tag for such in mp3 files (USLT frame), and I use unsyncedlyrics for such in flac files.

I use the latest updates to foobar and all components.

At one point I got dumped on for even suggesting this component to someone looking for a lyrics plugin, so I'm a bit uneasy just asking this question.

Has anyone figured out how to stop lyrics from being displayed that aren't the ones that match the track being played?  I store all lyrics in .lrc files with the same file name as the audio file, and placed in the  folder with the audio files. 

I suppose if I embedded the lyrics in the audio files I may not have the problem.  But I like to have easy access to them so I can easily edit them in a separate lyrics editor.

I have faced this issue too. I think it has showed up after I installed the newest version of the plugin. Right lyrics are seldom fetched, instead a certain song from an artist appears repeatedly and a manual search is needed. Probably the new version has got a bug.

this component is giving me 100% cpu spikes when I change tracks. Anyone else having this issue?

I deselect automatically downloading from the internet and that fixed that bug. When I do want to find lyrics online I manually right-click and select "Online search".

Watch out all! I just discovered that as of a few weeks ago, foobar has been downloading this message as lyrics to every song I listened to (for which it couldn't find real lyrics): "lyricsfly.com<a href=http://lyricsfly.com>Find lyrics on LyricsFly.com</a>"

I am now awash in 1kb lyrics files with that message.

I don't know why that is coming back as a match--the singer/song as both listed as "n/a". The programmer should check on that.

The best solution I've found is as the last poster suggested, to deselect automatic downloading. I left automatic downloading on for lyrics files with time stamps, though--that at least eliminates this stupid lyricsfly message. Then I manually search for lyrics for songs I'm interested in.

That looks more like a user error than programming error. Set the component not to use LyricsFly and have it not search other providers than the ones you've checked...

OK, that seems like a reasonable work around, even though that means the component will never be able to use lyricsfly even to find valid lyrics. I fail to see how it's a user error, though, when I think I haven't touched the default settings and the behavior abruptly changed a few weeks ago (presumably that's when lyricsfly started matching unfound lyrics with that tag).

Hey, is there any way to display lyrics in the "lyrics show 2" window without actually saving them to your hard disk? That would be my preference... I just want to see the lyrics, I don't necessarily want to save them. Unless the lyrics it gets aren't right, in which case I *would* like to be able to save the correct lyrics to a file.

I just played around with various configuration settings for a bit just now, and couldn't figure out how to do that. Is it possible?

Not sure if it is functional, but using the online search tab, Save Scheme section, there is an option to not save.

That just seemed to cause the window to never display any lyrics at all, if I recall correctly.

Don't wan to be trollish but i fell the need to say it: the whole component is an error!

Fell free to write a better one. Currently it has no alternative.

Yeah... the component saving invalid lyrics is definitely an user error.

Just because i am not able to write even one line in C++ you want to shut me up? You could have argued against my judgement but you also know this component is crap: not only in regard to its status as crashware but also because  the usability it is horrible. This thread keeps records of the pain for the users. The only that remains to say is that there are alternatives for downloading and displaying lyrics. But yes, you are right: there is really no alternative to the braineating trouble you get once you've decided to use this component.

Edit
It is definetively a programming error if so many user errors are provoked. The unique atrribute of this component is that you cannot really distinguish what type of error you have.

No you should shut up because of your attitude. To say something like "the whole component is an error", "this component is crap" is the worse.
The component is marked as crashware and nolonger maintained, so what if it's unusable for you, there is nothing to be surprised or to complained about. But for many people, me included, this component despise some small bugs is till doing its job.
