Big thanks for the new version.
A bug:
If the "Automatic Save" is disabled, I cannot manually save loaded lyrics from the context menu.
I'm using a portable foobar installation.

[The vern]

It's working here, make sure you haven't got "don't save" selected as the save method.

[xbrtll]

Thank you again!

Regarding the synchronise-line key I've been hoping for assignable shortcuts in foobar preferences, but the enter-version might also work.

Is it inteded that quality information is lost when saving lyrics locally or am I doing something wrong?

[webern]

It's working here, make sure you haven't got "don't save" selected as the save method.

I have "Save to configuration folder" set as the save metod.
Manual saving don't work for me.
"Automatic Save" works fine.

added:
If "Auto save on OK or Aply" is checked on in the "Lyric editor" I CAN save a lyric by pressing OK/Apply.

Thanks, I know where the problem is now, I'll fix it in the next release.

[webern]

Just a quastion
What does %search_progress% show to us?
I see 50, 66, 83.
What does that mean?

[The vern]

It's a percent of the search progress.

Thanks for the new Version.
But, i have a Crash if i start a Stream
Crashlog sended

[q-stankovic]

Now that you have made preferences even cleaner, let me repeat what i wrote some months ago:

Does the search parameter fields in lyric searching page of the prefrences is necessary at all? Considering that %artist% is remapped to artist/album artist/composer/performer and %title% to title/filename (see reference) i have no idea what else should be written in the search parameters than what comes by default (by the way: due to field remapping $if2(%title%,%filename%) is identical to %title%).

[Erich_2]

Great - that's what I'm waiting for along time! Works perfekt here.
Thank You very very much!

My fallback text is now:

Artist: %artist%
Title: %title%
Album: %album%

:: %search_state% [ %search_progress%'%'] ::

[Speech]

Unfortunately, I'm getting a systematic crash with Lyrics3 v. 0.31 when foobar starts.
I sent you some failure reports.

Then I manually replaced it with version 0.22 and foobar works again.

I hope you will be able to fix this soon.

Thanks in advance

[xbrtll]

Is the rating "Excellant" a spelling mistake (-> excellent) or is there an explanation for the 'a'? (English is not my first language...)

great update! many thanks for this release.

i just want to thank you, it solved all issues i had, except the one that still persists. it ignores the text in brackets, on the remixes, live versions, acoustic versions and so on. so if i have for example "Ellie Goulding - Lights.lrc" and "Ellie Goulding - Lights (Bassnectar Remix).lrc" and i start the regular song, i see the lyrics for a remix. otherwise everything else is great.

and want to add 3 feature requests, some of them were already discussed and they are not hard to implement i think

- add stop button in lyric search dialogue (if i want to correct artist/title info and don't want to wait 10 seconds)
- add ability to NOT move lyrics and NOT adjust the offset when dragging SYNCED lyrics with mouse (not important much, i just sometimes drag the lyrics accidentally and i guess adding one option for this is not so difficult)
- add new type of searching for lyrics, for example "prefer local search and download new in the background". now if i want to browse between all the possible lyrics INSTANTLY, i need to click "lyric search", click through all the results, exit the search window and right click on lyrics panel with "next lyrics" option. with that setting, i would see the local search result and just wait for 10-15s to be able to click "next lyrics" and see the other lyrics instantly.

many thanks for this version once again, much appreciated!

[MartDann]

Thank you for the fast update.
Tested the new Version and the streams works now perfect

Thank you: this version seems to have solved the crashes I encountered.

@culinko

if i have for example "Ellie Goulding - Lights.lrc" and "Ellie Goulding - Lights (Bassnectar Remix).lrc" and i start the regular song, i see the lyrics for a remix

Are you sure? Although it did not say in the change log this issue is supposed to be fixed. I just tested 6 tracks where there are versions with and without parentheses and it loaded the correct lyric for me each time using local file search (the file name of the loaded lyric was checked in about current lyrics). Are you sure that the incorrect lyric is not being loaded through some other route such as a tag or incorrect association or that there isn't some other error etc?

i don't have any lyrics stored in tags. i have prefer synced with local search first. tested it now again with "paramore - where the lines overlap" and "paramore - where the lines overlap (acoustic)" with the same result. the lyric in "about current lyrics" is the wrong one.

edit: i just added new lyric and clicked "save" and it worked. only thing that bothers me is, that in lyric search, there are 4 non-synced lyrics for acoustic version, 1 non-synced lyric for regular version and 2 synced lyrics for regular version. everytime i start acousting version of the song with my non-synced lyrics (got prefer synced in settings), it's overwritten with the synced lyrics from a regular song. it shouldn't be.

btw. found one odd thing. if i have wrong lyrics and i find better lyrics, then start another song, the new lyrics are not remembered. i need to click "save" in order for them to be remembered. i think it wasn't like this before, i just switched to a better lyrics, started a new song and the better lyrics were here when i started the previous song again. i'm just curious if this got changed or i remember it wrong. (same with offset, not remembered until i hit "save")

I've just tested with the filenames you've provided and I've had no problems (despite my best efforts).
It might be worth having a look in the associations search properties, it might be forcing the incorrect lyric to show. Just remove any entries which point to the wrong lyrics.
What does your lyric search dialogue show? What order do the files appear in? (you can see the file name by scrolling to the right and expanding the column) - it might be easier to show me with a screenshot. Just as a sanity check you are actually using version 0.3.2 right?

If lyrics of the same type (synced or not) already exist for a track, these lyrics will not be overwritten (as stated in preferences). You have to use the save option (it's been like this all the time I've been developing lyrics3). The offset is saved provided 'automatic save' is enabled and the appropriate save method is selected (it also of course relies on you loading the same lyrics next time the track is played).

were you testing synced-synced or unsynced-synced stuff? because i already found out when i click "save" on synced lyrics, it's shown correctly on next play. but it loads the wrong lyrics if i have unsynced ones.

i just looked in the lyric search dialogue. first 2 entries are synced lyrics for regular version from timestamped 3 database. 3rd one is local file search (correct lyrics). 4th entry are unsynced lyrics for acoustic version. 5th entry are unsynced lyrics for regular version. my order is associations search, local file search, and then the other stuff. btw. when lyrics end in "associations search"? beacuse i got here like 30 entries and i have no idea how they ended here. (i have like 4000 lyrics as a local files)

attaching screens so it could be more clear.

http://kopasite.net/up/w19tq7db5p11kw7/foo...searchorder.jpg - here is my search order

http://kopasite.net/up/1tu535wztri89xc/foo...lyricsearch.jpg - here are results for an acoustic version (now i realized, the 3 entries of a normal song comes from "timestamped 3". could this be the issue?)

http://kopasite.net/up/gps788jq72eq3c7/foo...archregular.jpg - here are results for a regular version. on 7th spot, there are lyrics for an acoustic version, no idea how they ended here.

Ahh now I understand the problem. Essentially it's because your using prefer synced and you want to load an unsynced lyric (it's nothing to do with the fact it's a different version of the song). An interim solution would be to select 'no preference' as the type of lyric to load.
I will make a very small change to the code which will allow you to use the associations to force an unsynced lyric to display, even when prefer synced is selected (and so solve your problem). I'll do it in the morning though!

Many thanks for your feedback

no problem man, you're the best! and how could i assign the lyrics? because i have like 30 assigned lyrics and i have no idea how they ended here. btw. i found out the lyric search window won't remember its size and column sizes after reopening, but it's only a cosmetic thing:)

[Peti]

thanks for the updated version, but what about my feature request regarding custom search string in local search? I have all my lyrics saved as %fielname% and I can't make it work without breaking the online search. This makes me the componet unsusable

you can save the online lyrics first. then let local search do its job
