An update on lyrics?

I'm not sure where they're stored, but I've used MediaMonkey and other programs to add lyrics to most of my library. That avoids the licensing issue (or at least shifts it to the user).

Looking at that PR I think Tim had it right that some kind of plugin system would be best so that the project as a whole isn’t encumbered by any legal issues. Iirc the original author suggested having a user supplied script run to pull the data, the trick is to make a firewall between what moode does and what such a script would do. Also iirc moode uses php to generate the audio info dialog data, you could theoretically replace the stock version of that script with one that supplies more data (like lyrics or artist/album info). The formatting would be less than ideal as-is, though you could rearrange or maybe add a third tab. And maybe have audio info tabs for cover view? I don’t use it but that seems like the kind of thing that might be interesting to show.
