An update on lyrics?

[Listener]

HI Tim,

Your mentioned that lyrics might be included in the 8 series. Any news/progress?

Thanks for all you do,

Not really. No one has volunteered to create or propose a Lyrics module for moOde and I think most high quality Lyrics databases are prolly not free.

Here is an open source example from foobar2000 that works well both with web and local lyrics.

Does that help?

Easy...?

1. MIT license
2. arch is x86 / x64
3. born as a foobar2000 plugin (might hide / assume some core functionality of the caller)
4. need to scratch the code to understand work principles / APIs
5. convert C++ code to javascript (as it has to be - almost - real-time, hence run in the UI, IMO)
6. last but not least, integrate it all in moOde


Not saying it was aliens, but...

The code itself may be Open Source licensed but the online lyrics database prolly is not.

Do you know which online database the plugin uses?

History repeating itself ;-)
Once a dev even made a nice integration, but also there were license issues involved:

Good memory, and yes not Open Source licensed...

The spirit is admirable, the database, though, is still at embryonic stage.

Would it be possible to at least display lyrics that are already included in a song tag? 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).
