Feature Req : Lyric search

Sun Nov 07, 2004 12:40 am
First of all, what a great audio player :) On the streaming side the ability to decode anything other than MP3/Ogg would be a real bonus!

I like the talk of the lyric context browser. Would it be possible to search through stored lyrics for certain words, so a playlist could be formed for example with any line or lyric refrencing the current month? Search for "novemeber" for example and a playlist would be generated with all songs in the collection where november is mentioned. If the lyrics are stored in an SQLite database a search could be quite quick, maybe a grep through text files as an alternative to SQL?

Easiliy an autumn collection could be built, with this powerful feature.

unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be legal to download and store lyrics.

If you own the music you\'re listening to, it\'s perfectly legal to download and store lyrics.

If you don\'t own the music you\'re listening to, it\'s illegal anyway so it\'s a moot point.

I don\'t see any legal barriers to storing lyrics.
