Hello Mackey,

Maybe a news for you.

Have you seen that Yahoo have a new web site to search lyrics? (totally legal, the music companies are all right with the website)

http://music.yahoo.com/lyrics

More than 400 000 free lyrics

Maybe for the next release

Cédric

Hi cedric and thanks for the link. I didn't know about it.

However the site is quite useless, at least for fetching lyrics.

Firstly, the search is not intended to find the lyric for a specific track but rather to find matching phrases in their library of lyrics. Secondly, if you click your way to a lyrics you'll see they are represented as images and not pure text. Accordingly the lyrics are encapsulated in a image file and are not fetchable by the plugin.

So it is quite useless to this plugin.

My Lyrics seems to ignore the lyrics saved in mp3 tags.
Is there any explanation (or solution)?

(latest version , last MP SVN, Blue Two Wide)

I am pretty sure it works as most of my lyrics are stored in the mp3.
Did you go into configuration* of mylyrics and made a search for your songs? It is probably needed to build up the database, even if you only want to use the lyrics from your mp3s.
You posted this in the 0.19 thread. Current version is 0.23 I think and there were a lot of improvements, so you better use the latest (if you didn´t catch this thread only by accident.)
