Normally didn't originally (back 2012 - 2013 or so) - but sometime later, about when the online scaning started failing for places like Amazon and similar (for album info & images), the lyrics also started going to custard... Think when APIs all got updated/changed and the shift to https for all web browser traffic basically broke it and it's never been properly fixed. Means MediaMonkey lyrics fall back to chartlyrics.com (which is erratic in accuracy) and azlyrics, metrolyrics, etc. azlyrics is the one that implants urls through out the lyric text (like after every verse) and the others are the ones you end up with just the url to the webpage and no lyrics IIRC (azlyrics may even do this now - as they may have 'upgraded' their site)... *Hi-Fi 1*: QNAP HS-453DX NAS+QLMS/Allo USBridge Signature+Shanti LPS/Cirrus ESS Sabre 32-bit Reference DAC (Oppo 105D)/Yamaha Aventage CX-A5000/Focal SM9s. *Hi-Fi 2*: Sqbox Touch+Shanti LPS/Focal XS Books. *Hi-Fi 3*: PC+Squeezelite-X+Material Skin/Focal XS Books. *Hi-Fi Misc*: iPeng (iPad/iPhones)/Plantronics BB Pro 2 LE Headphones. *Accessories*: Tchernov -Classic- & Van den Hul ICs; Thor PS10 Power Station; Blue Jeans & Ruleconnect Cables (Power, HDMI, USB & Coaxial); Aurios & Vibrapods.

Just to confirm what pippin is saying, they aren't interested because it
doesn't fit their business model.
They want to work with big companies who are willing to pay them a
significant amount of money per year. I've already tried to offer them a
significantly lower amount per year, in line with what I believe I could
sell plugin licenses for without earning anything on it myself, but they
weren't interested in that.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Song Lyrics plugin will soon stop working due to musixmatch changes
I installed this foobar plugin, and it started chuntering through my library, although not so good on compilation albums, but better than nothing. I was concerned that I could not find the tags in my tag editor - after a bit of investigation I discovered that Synced Lyrics typically use a LYRICS tag, and unsynced Lyrics use a UNSYNCEDLYRICS tag. Not all tag editors recognise synced lyrics (MP3TAG does, TAGRENAME doesn't seem to). I went for the option of 'prefer unsynced' tags, but left the tag labels as the default (contrary to advice earlier to change them both to LYRICS). Doing this enables me to see which files have synced lyrics, and which have unsynced, and which files have none. LMS seems to cope with both, even when a file has both types of tag. Ipeng seems to have a small delay before serving up the lyrics, but overall I am very happy with this.

Late reply. Sorry. No, the LYRICS tag is not in my flac music files. There are no id3 tags. I use dbpoweramp to create my flac files. When I ran the foobar app it did imbed lyrics in the flac file but in a strange place, it looks like this when I go to edit idtag: Comment (this line is Blank) (after moving a line lyrics are here without a tag.) If I go to my music folder and open a album file hovering over a song shows the lyrics but they are without an id tag. There is just a : then the artist, album and lyrics. Seems that the problem is no lyrics tag present in my flac files for foobar to write to. When I try to add tag LYRICS without a value it will not save it. How do I add a lyrics tag without a value? I use mp3tag and it doesnt allow it. Is there a tagging program that will allow? Is foobar supposed to create the lyrics tag and write to it? If yes what setting could be wrong?

Have found that in most of my library the lyrics are there but there is no tag name ie LYRICS. Not quite sure if I follow - is the LYRICS tag in your FLACs or not? If you test it with a track where it is present, does LMS recognize it? btw, which application are you using to create the FLACs? Can you check that it only adds FLAC tags, and not ID3 tags (for FLACs, lyrics are in the LYRICS tag. For MP3s (which uses ID3 tags), they are in USLT or SYLT tags. For example, EAC is known to add both depending on the configuration, and this seems to confuse some applications, including mp3tag)? When I go to mp3tag extended tags there is no LYRICS there. If I try to add it asks for field and value. I assume field is LYRICS but have no idea what to put for value. Suggestions? Thanks The value would be the lyrics themselves, but since you say they are already in the track, adding them makes no sense. I'd suggest that you take a track which contains lyrics, and look at the tags in the LMS web interface (Song Info/View Tags - no need to rescan the library before doing so). You should see a LYRICS tag there (and hopefully no USLT or SYLT - that would be ID3 tags) Roland0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56808 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98161 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I've been fooling with this for a while and am still unable to get it to show the lyrics in squeezebox. I have song lyrics plugin installed but have removed the check mark next to it assuming that that would disable it. Song lyrics still shows in LMS when I use the more info but most often with the wrong lyrics and says lyrics delivered by chartlyrics. When I use foobar for lyrics it does write the correct lyrics to tag. That is when I go to my music folder for the album and hover over the song correct lyrics are there but not when I use LMS. Any suggestions for correcting this? Please keep in mind that I am a computer novice. Things have to be detailed for me to have success with this type of thing.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Song Lyrics plugin will soon stop working due to musixmatch changes
The lyrics are NOT supposed to show up under SongInfo, that's the menu for the SongInfo plugin. They are supposed to have their own menu entry (sorry, can't try it out, I only have one track with embedded lyrics and I forgot which one that is) pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98161 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Song Lyrics plugin will soon stop working due to musixmatch changes
Now that I have saved all lyrics in my Flacs / tags I have a quite special question: For my remote control project I need a direct link to Squeezeserver to show the lyrics of the currently played song. For example, there is such a link for the Now Playing Cover with http://192..:9000/music/current/cover.jpg? - is there a link in Squeezeserver that points directly to the Now Playing Lyrics ? Or as a workaround: Is there a plugin that enables such a link ? Thank you, Nocko!

Foobar remembers all your Lyrics Show and Preview settings, so even though you may have finished the original task, adding new lyrics data would be as simple as playing or previewing the tracks on the new album in Foobar. Assuming 10-15 tracks in most pop albums that makes adding new lyrics a 60 - 90 second process if you Preview each track for 6 seconds. I don't use the Foobar library function, but I would not be surprised if it had a new music list feature somewhere. All you would need to do then is create a playlist from the new music and run the preview function on it. Personally my workflow for a new CD is now as follows: Start dBPoweramp and use the simultaneous rip function to add the music files, tags and folder art to my FLAC and MP3 libraries on my PC. This takes about 5 minutes to tweak the tags and 2 minutes to perform the rip. Run foobar on each folder (MP3 and FLAC) to add the lyrics, that is 2 x 90 seconds at worst. Er... thats it. I have everything else set up to work automatically. I have software which, every 10 minutes, automatically synchronises the two music libraries on the PC on which I rip the music with mirrored folders on my NAS. LMS uses the FLAC folder on the NAS I use as an LMS server. That means that it takes a maximum of 15 minutes after I have ripped a CD for it to be available on LMS. I have about 8,000 tracks now, so not many fewer than you. I have set up LMS to do a complete rescan automatically at 3am every day while I am asleep, which takes it about 10 minutes. That way all newly ripped CDs are automatically added as new music each day without me having to set anything off manually. If I want to listen to the music straightaway after ripping it I just browse to it using the Music Folder option under My Music in LMS. That will automatically add the music to the database.

aubuti wrote: That would be great. I know that I would be grateful (and probably glad that it was one of those chores I did not get to last weekend.) I am presuming here that you have already installed Foobar 2000 and know the basics. 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!

iPeng is $6 (iPhone/iTouch) and $10 (iPad) and it currently runs on anything except for first generation iOS devices (original iPhone and iTouch). But I would not recommend it on 2nd generation devices either except as a standalone player (that doesn't require strict syncing). I personally find it too slow on these as a controller.

If there are already lyrics in the tag, they are not touched. Thanks 1,000,000 for this. Sounds much better than Music Bee.

It worked great for me at first, then after a while it started writing only the URL to a lyrics service.

I use Get Lyrical on my Mac. I looked for anything on Windows, but I'm sure there are similar tools out there. http://shullian.com/get_lyrical.php Caveats: My formats are .alac and .mp3. Get Lyrical works with iTunes. Get Lyrical has found lyrics for ~16,000 of my ~22,000 songs. When it completes, it produces a playlist of songs for which it could not find lyrics. I rescan that list from time to time hoping that some of them will be found. Sometimes they are. prabbit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11142 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98161 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I don't understand anything about programming and APIs and so on but I am very thankful to Erland for his Plugin. I used it for two years (with iPeng) and it made my music experience perfect. We should fight for it ! If you, Erland, need financial support for your work (not to buy the rights for using lyrics), you should feel free to make SongLyrics commercial. I had already donated a small amount (or two ?) and would do it again. For maintenance I would also pay a regular fee. Could this http://blog.programmableweb.com/2008/03/31/lyricwiki-api-get-song-lyrics-via-code/ be a source to integrate into your plugin ? Many thanks, Nocko!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Song Lyrics plugin will soon stop working due to musixmatch changes
Erland, would it be possible for users of your plugin to have to pay a nominal subscription to the lyrics provider rather than you having to put up the 20k. Pretty sure this could be worked using the license mechanism, and your plugin would only work if they had a paid up subscription. The only question then is how much. I don't use it a lot, but I'd pay them 10 usd per year. yeomanspc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98161 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Song Lyrics plugin will soon stop working due to musixmatch changes
What a shame, and I only recently discovered the plugin as well and was enjoying using it. I can confirm that it no longer works on my system. That $20k annual fee looks monstrous, who are they expecting will pay for it? Software and hardware companies? Streaming services? I think this is the way a lot of the internet is going to go. Things that are free or cheap today will become paid for and expensive in the future as ultimately all this work needs to be paid for, and the only revenue streams are either paying directly or advertising. Volunteers such as you who are prepared to put so much of their time and effort in for free can only do so much. In the end people need to earn a living! My main worry is the sustainability of the Spotify / Napster / Rhapsody model. I cannot see how all-you-can-eat music for £10 / $10 a month will work in the long term.

Big companies selling their products/services to the masses, for these $20 000/year is not a big issue. As usual the fees are likely dictated by the music industry, musixmatch is just the company in the middle, so I don't think we should blame musixmatch.

I know several people who never spent $10/months on music and now spend $10/month on Spotify without thinking much about it. So to me the streaming model makes perfect sense, but it probably needs to be combined with normal purchases because the streaming services always tend to miss some of the music you like to listen to. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98161 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Song Lyrics plugin will soon stop working due to musixmatch changes
Since I have the Lyrics plug-in I'm even more in love with iPeng, SSS (Logitech Media Server) and the Boxes itself. I would be even willing to pay for such a service... reasonable amount, similar to the small app stuff in the stores. My fear is that with the shift to the UE Music Library server it will take long until the ecosystem will reach a certain maturity with distributions on NAS and cool plug-ins, as yours. The wrong time to think about investing in a unclear future. Thanks.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Song Lyrics plugin will soon stop working due to musixmatch changes
Quoting erland (erland.5r4...@no-mx.forums.slimdevices.com): Just for information to anyone using my Song Lyrics plugin, the Song Lyrics plugin is likely going to stop working good very soon. The reason is that musixmatch have informed me that they can no longer support free API access, their minimum fee for a commercial agreement is currently $20 000/year which is unrealistic for me to take out of my own pockets and it's also totally unrealistic to get anywhere close to this amount if I would try to start charging people for the Song Lyrics plugin and give everything to musixmatch. I suspect we shouldn't blame musixmatch for this, it's probably the music industry that requires them to charge people who want to view lyrics, I think it's great that musixmatch could offer lyrics for free for non commercial usage as long as they did. So if you want to continue enjoying lyrics on your Squeezebox you now have to put the lyrics in the LYRICS tag of your music files, the advantage of that is that it's going to continue to work in the future since you aren't dependent on an online service or plugin. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience this is causing all lyrics lovers, but unfortunately there isn't anything I can do about it. If anyone knows another lyrics source that offers an API let me know and I'll look into the possibilities to integrate that instead of musixmatch. If it doesn't provide an API it's not an option because it will require too much work and too high risk to maintain something that parses websites to get lyrics data. Song Lyrics already supports lyrics from chartlyrics.com but previously their data hasn't been as good as musixmatch.com and they also have some legal issues which probably results in that it's just a matter of time until that stops working too. Thanks Erland for everything you do. ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
