One thing I omitted. The Lyric Show panel needs to be "docked" in the foobar player to view the lyrics. This is what works well for me: View, Layout, Quick setup and choose" Visualisation + Cover art + Tabs" then View, Layout, Enable layout editing mode then Right click the bottom right panel choose "replace UI Element" Lyrics Show Panel v3 is at the bottom of the list under the heading "Utils". If you want more room to view the lyrics you can right click on the boundary between the top and bottom right panels and un-tick "Lock bottom pane height". You can then drag it up to the size you want. When you have finished go back and un-tick "Enable layout editing mode" Foorbar's interface is very configurable, but it is not my main player so I am only interested in the basics really. So far I have been very pleased with the way this has grabbed lyrics for me. My only problems have been one album with no lyrics anywhere, several tracks with truncated lyrics (the first few lines followed by [...] ) and a few tracks in Spanish. The failure rate in total is no more than 1% so it has worked very well. I imagine the truncated lyrics is probably a copyright problem preventing the database from displaying the full version. Unfortunately there is no way of telling which database the lyrics actually come from. The program just works its way down the list until it hits one with a match and downloads that. It has no way of telling whether a lyric sheet is truncated or not. It would be good if the program had a way of filtering out the truncated lyrics, but not a biggie really. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheLastMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98161 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
