The FAQ says that one can edit lyrics via the web interface..how do i do that?
I've just submitted some lyrics, but i realized that i submitted the wrong lyrics for the wrong songs....
login first. And then use "my lyrics" link, for example.
I did that..but how do I edit?
All I get is a overview of my posted lyrics :

And if i select a song there is also no way to edit it:

Select a song and you should see the edit / remove links at the bottom: if not, you probably don't have enough privileges, ask dug.

I wonder why it doesn't work just as is. I think it's more about the radio support realisation: all the metadata is empty, but in the playlist there's a track name...

Is it possible to have the popup window where the lyrics come in as a tab inside column ui, at the moment ive tried doing a Track info mod that only displays %lyrics% (which isnt allways good if the lyrics are to long... no scrolling :l), but i still manually have to get lyrics and press ok and so on..
QUOTE(xhandler @ Nov 6 2006, 20:07)

…but i still manually have to get lyrics and press ok and so on..
Yes, you have to get lyrics manually

Use a hotkey for that. May be it's really a good idea to get lyrics while playing... Okay, added it to the todo list

. But you don't have to press ok, or even get the preview window, check the settings. You have to uncheck the "show every lyrics before applying" chekbox.

Hey, since this database is run by the makers of the plugin... I suppose this is the best place to post this...
But if there is going to be a public database like this, there's going to have to be some rules, or at least regulations...
For example, foreign language lyrics become a bit of an issue...
Anyone who has worked with Japanese music knows that often lyrics are listed in Romanized Characters (i.e. just the pronounciations, put into English). But I often enjoy seeing the original Japanese characters, as they often give more of the meaning to the song and such...
So which one should go in? Should we do both? That sounds weird.
On some songs it isn't a problem... because the romanized version will have the title in romanized characters, and the Japanese text version can have the Japanese text title... but a number of times the actual song titles are written in romanized characters... so there would be a conflict.
I recently uploaded full lyrics for a song using Japanese characters (for song title and lyrics) to test out the capability of Japanese text support... And it all worked fine. I suppose it's UTF-8.
Anyway... Is this going to reserved to an "English only/English readable only" database? Or can we find some way to include the others?
EDIT: The more I think about it, the more it sounds like I should just keep my Japanese lyrics to myself. Opinions?

My biggest problem is trying to get the lyrics show to fit into the right side of the screen, it is actually excessively hard
I use the trackinfo panel (suggested a few posts ago) and I don't find it hard to configure and use: probably the most "problematic" (if you are new to this) step is configuring ColumnsUI.

Could someone please explain me how to get the lyrics shown in a panel/tab step by step? I have installed foo_ui_columns.dll and foo_uie_trackinfo.dll but im new to foobar and dunno what to do next. Thx

If, like me, you have the lyrics in a tag, go to Preferences (Ctrl/P) and in
Display --> Columns UI add a panel to your layout (
Right click --> Insert panel --> Panels --> Track info). Then select it and set up the Formatting string (
Configure... button) and all other options.
HTH.

[Edit]You also have to select Columns UI in
Preferences --> Display --> User Interface Module.

When I click in the Track Info Panel and then scroll down with my mousewheel a little farther as usual (but not farther as the Lyrics length is), then I get this bug. Strangely, in the screenshot the bug appears to be the black square, although it does look differently here on my PC. Here it looks like the Track Info Panel doesnt get updated if you scroll too far.

cYmZz: it's a known bug of trackinfo panel, you can't do much about it, except selecting the smallest font and resizing the panel to show more text.
And your problem is not related to LyricsDB, so probably this is not the thread where this issue should be discussed.

Quick question: Is this still being worked on? There is a bug that needs to be fixed and a few features that should be added.
Bugs:
-Freezes when can not find lyrics for a particular song.
Features:
-When plugin can not find the lyrics ask the user to input the artist and song.
-Allow user to choose from multiple lyrics the search pulls up.

foobar crashes with metadb leaks sometimes... only when using this plugin..

I cant imagine it being anything but the component being incompatible with vista...it causes a "bad allocation" error which have been the main complaint from vista regarding foobar. From what I gather all that is required is a recompile with the latest sdk

most of people, using foobar2k are sane

and there's ability to edit lyrics, you just must be registred and i guess have some level... if you don't have enough provelegies, just ask me about that (privatly).
by the way, if you got bad lyrics, you can edit it, and just post back to the database.
