When requesting a lyrics lookup, could you check to see if they exist within the song file first? If they lyrics are ebedded, display them; if not then open lyrics.ru

I add lyrics to my .mp3's all the time, and would like to display them from the source first if available since I correct them frequently.

Thanks,
Rich

Great idea Rich!

I also would like to be able to display the lyrics embedded in files elsewhere in eJukebox than in the editor! ;)

Thanks.

I did a quick mock-up of what a lyrics screen may look like. It's full of jpeg artifacts due to a large compression rate for our dial-up friends, so sorry for the quality.

Thanks,
Rich

It's beautiful!

I like your idea for the background covered from lighten images of the current song.

I think Audiosoft could add this great new feature quite easily.
I would like the lyrics appear automatically when they exist, or rather if there was a flag on the screen for songs including lyrics. In this way you could click on it to show them.
Moreover if they add a .dis file allowing the user to change the font, then that will be perfect! :D


Otherwize Rich,

Do you know a Winamp plug-in which can already display the lyrics you put using the eJukebox editor? Because I don't know any of it.

Thanks.

We plan on adding this fairly soon. eJukebox would show an icon under "now playing" to alert the user to the existance of saved lyrics ... and allow you to view them by clicking the icon istead of having to right click.

Excellent! :D

Maybe you could also add a way to see the lyrics window from the editor in order to make easier their maintenance?

Another question:
When lyrics are edited using eJukebox, what standard do you use to save the lyrics in the mp3 files?

Thank you very much.

eJukebox uses the ID3 tag identifier:
Unsynced lyrics/text "USLT"
to store the lyrics data.

Also, the editor will change its button caption from "Lookup Lyrics" to "View Lyrics" when you have stored lyrics, so that you can click to view them in the main display.

Thanks for give me the info concerning the lyrics norm and also for the button updated in the editor.

eJukebox still becomes better! :)
But as it's already the best... :D
