New feature:

Show lyric! In the "tab" bar, or whatever you call it (to left), new tab called "Lyric".
You'll have one folder named "Lyrics", there you have all your lyrics stored. If you hasn't a lyric, then amaroK will search the lyric (from a homepage), download it and store it in the folder.
Something like http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=16009%20this

I think it would be nice, please come with suggestions.
Sorry, it may be hard to understand me? My English isn't the best.


And thank you very much for this GREAT app! [img size=16]http://homepage.mac.com/cyberskull/.Pictures/Me/FF6-CyberSkull_Mog-16x21.gif[/img]

Trouble is that lyrics (like cover images) are copyright protected. You are not allowed to just download them from some website.

This feature would only be possible if there was a legal way to download them under a special (free) license. Tell me if you know of such a site.

I have modified the SpiffiLyrics script to operate with amarok. The modification is really simple and I think it's not worth posting it in kde-look. Just paste the code below in a file (sp.diff for example) in the same dir as the script and do:

patch SpiffiJukLyrics.py sp.diff

[code:1]
< myPlayer = "juk"
---
> #myPlayer = "juk"
12a13
> myPlayer = "amarok"
73c74,80
< else:
---

Sorry. There's an error in the diff code. There must be a line before

< myPlayer = "juk"

like this one:

11c11

Sorry again. There are more errors in the code (-_- U) so i'll post it again. Lets see if this time i'm capable of posting it correctly

[code:1]
11c11
< myPlayer = "juk"
---
> #myPlayer = "juk"
12a13
> myPlayer = "amarok"
73c74,80

Heh, thank you. But why not just post it at KDE-look? I think people would be very happy if you did (people = me ^^)

Argh, license? =(
How... troublesome. But if someone created a site, like a wiki (everyone can post/edit. Or all members) then it could work? Yes, it is easier to find such a homepage, but =/
Does the license still mess if you implanted such a feature without auto-download? You'll have to put you lyrics in that folder, or write them in amaroK.

The modification is already merged into the SpiffyJukLyrics code. You can download it at:

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=16009


To make it work with amarok you have to uncomment the line:
myPlayer = "amarok"

and comment the line:
myPlayer = "juk"

they are both at the begining of the script "SpiffyJukLyrics.py".

This feature has been added to the CVS? O.O

lyric retrieval has been implemented in cvs, but not with spiffy lyrics
