[QUOTE="yoavain, post: 1009122, member: 92067"] Hi Guys, In the last week I've been working hard on practically rewriting the plugin. The reason for that is that it was not designed for an easy way for adding/removing a search site. I've created a common interface that all sites must use. Next step is to simplify the usage of the sites. In the end of this process, adding a new search site should be very easy. During this work, I've seen some sites that are not working any more, or giving the answer very very slowly: [LIST] [*][B]LyricsPlguin.com[/B] was already removed (site changed and explicitly requested not to scrap it by any software/plugin...) [*][B]HotLyrics.net[/B] seems to be down but I'm checking an alternative site that has its database. [URL='https://code.google.com/p/mediaportal-mylyrics/issues/detail?id=23']issue #23[/URL] [*][B]lyricwiki.org[/B] (which is now lyrics.wikia.com) no longer give full lyrics (only 1/7 of it) in the regular way. Their API woks like that too. Will probably be removed too. [*][B]LyrDb.com [/B]seems to work [U]very slow[/U] (at least from where I'm trying). It sometimes gives me answers after more than 2 minutes, which is unacceptable (unless it's a batch mode maybe) [/LIST] [COLOR=#3366ff][B]Therefore, I decided to use your help to find new search sites. Preferably, ones with an API, but also sites where it's easy to understand [/B][/COLOR][B][COLOR=#3366ff]what's the link to the page with the actual lyrics [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#3366ff]in no more than 2 steps.[/COLOR][/B] Current list to investigate is: [LIST] [*]I've already checked [B][url="http://www.musixmatch.com"]www.musixmatch.com[/url][/B] but their API is limited for non paying customers, and requires a API key, which currently I don't want to implement. (Maybe in a future version, never say never...)
