[QUOTE="mackey, post: 478265, member: 20257"] I can see that it would be a nice feature for users with an inproper tagged music collection. However from a developer view I see two problems related to such an online search with MP. Firstly, the function doesn't fix the source to the negative lyric search result, that is the tag, but only provides a way to search for a lyric despite the wrongly tagged song. If you want e.g. audioscrobber or another plugin to work with the file their devs have to implement the same workaround as this requested feature. that would mean a lot of silly redundant code here and there, which only is necessary for "lazy people" who doesn't tag their files properly. I natural don't consider you to be one of those ;) Secondly, your request that there is a database with every artist and every song title ever made. Or at least a complete list with all titles to which MyLyrics can find a lyric on the net. There isn't such a database so technically there is no way to provide such a list. To sum up; only users with a properly tagged music database should use MyLyrics. It is a requirement that cannot be ignored. HWahrmann have made the excellent tagging tool 'MPTagThat' for exactly that. It even includes the same lyric engine as MyLyrics so you can search for lyrics inside 'MPTagThat' which is pretty cool. cheers, mackey [/QUOTE]
