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.

HTH.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but is there an alternate database we could use? I'm finding alot of erroneous lyrics for my songs.

Unicode search still doesn't work, moreover it "crashes" the searching process

So go ahead and correct them. Support this project. I do it every day.

If you can't edit lyrics, pm dug and ask him for the priviliges

And that's correct for the 9.4? Strange, but I'l check what I can do.

Great plugin!

Is there a way to get it to work with streaming files (i.e. with the XM Radio plugin?)

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...
francesco
Love this plug!

why don't make download automatically the lyrics maybe during the playback? it could be a great idea

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..

Yes, you have to get lyrics manually wink.gif 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 wink.gif. 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?

I think that's intended: dug put a limit on the results for performance reasons. Try a artist search (for example "AME") to see what I mean.

PS: yeah, I agree that the letters links are of little use at the moment. wink.gif

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.

Alessandro



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.

Alessandro

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

You're welcome. This is what I use:

400080%title% by 400080%artist%$char(10)$char(10)[$replace(%lyrics%,$char(13),)]

Just an example, of course. wink.gif

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.

Don't know what to tell you, short of checking the plug-in version and looking for possible conflicts with other plug-ins. Here's what I have:

I have the same plug-in version like you, only my lyricsdb is 0.0.7 beta4...
molnart
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.
GreenSmurf
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.
molnart
Another issue appearing in the recent days:
after 7 seven tracks the lyrics retrieval fails and the progress bar freezes.
Most probably this is a problem on the server side, because it used to work perfectly

Also having problems on vista with this plugin..
foobar crashes with metadb leaks sometimes... only when using this plugin..

Is it really a problem in vista with the plugin? I mean is here someone, who doesn't have problems with the plugin on vista? I don't have it installed, so can't check myself.
musosticky
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

that's a good idea, I'll try to play around as soon as possible with new SDK.

Maybe let users edit the database? There are some really horrible lyrics with bad grammar, missing words,   and other html code etc.

most of people, using foobar2k are sane smile.gif 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.

Yea seems like the editing works. I thought you can't replace lyrics as the export screen says "added: 0, was: 1"

there's new build: http://lyrics.mirkforce.net/files/foo_lyricsdb_007_beta5.zip
1) it seems to be compatable vith vista (report please if it really is)
