Download foobar Seek plugin zip file from *'here' (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=88654)* and the Lyric Show Panel 3 zip file from *'here' (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_uie_lyrics3)* There is no need to unzip them, foobar does this as part of the install process. In foobar go to file, Preferences, Components and install both plugins. *Press apply and the program will restart. Once the plugins are installed go to File, Preferences, Tools, Lyric Show 3 LYRIC SEARCHING TAB On the first tab your main choice is to decide whether you want time stamped lyrics that will scroll and synchronise with the music karaoke style, or whether you just want a straight text tag. The options are: - Only synced - Only non-synced - Prefer synced - Prefer non-synced - No preference Neither the Controller, nor either of the apps I use (Logitech and Orange Squeeze) can use the time stamping so I chose "only non-synced". Synced files have time data and HTML characters alongside the lyrics so are virtually unreadable unless your player can use the data. If you use iPeng you might want to ask Pippin whether his app can use the time stamps. You then have to choose the order in which the plugin searches the various databases. I have no idea which is better so just shifted the Timestamped servers to the bottom. LYRIC SAVING TAB Tick (check) Enable automatic save Save method is Save to tag *(very important!)* It is crucial that the un-synced Lyric tag is set to LYRICS otherwise Orange Squeeze and the Controller wont read it. If you like your lyrics synced you will need to experiment with the synced lyric tag and your choice of control software. Again perhaps Pippin can advise. I have ignored the Advanced tab, nothing critical here as far as I can tell. That is it for the Lyric Show 3 plugin. The Preview option in the seek plugin is set up from the normal Playback menu. IMPLEMENTATION Add all the files and folders you want to tag to the playlist. Go to Playback, Seek Control, Preview length and select what you want. I found that the minimum, 6 seconds, was more than enough. Then choose Playback, Seek Control and tick Preview. Press Play and then go away! You might want to watch it for a few tracks, it is rather cool, otherwise you can leave it to do its stuff for as long as it takes. I have done about half my collection now and will do the other half over the next few days. Have fun! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheLastMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98161
