As there is still no save-and-read-lyrics-locally function in amaroK, I thought I\'d write myself a script that does this. Maybe it will help you, too:

http://tom-f.org/code/linux/amrklyr.tar.gz

If you encounter any bugs or have ideas, let me know. B)

You need php to run this script, because that url-encoded file name you get via dcop must be decrypted. (If the devs finally decide to provide an un-url-encoded dcop call, this would be great )

[edit]Php is no longer needed, thanks to the \"path\" dcop call ^^ [/edit]

Hello !
Thanks for this script but I can\'t run it, could you help me please ? when I run the script in amarok :
script error code 1 :

Error: No command specified. Commands:save - Store lyricsread - Read lyricsdele - Delete lyrics

I\'m using Ubuntu Hoary with Gnome, Amarok 1.3 beta 2

Any Idea ?

The scripts needs a parameter that tells it what it should do -

[code:1]
alanceil@lapmagi:0:~/jana2test/html/(codegz)/amrklyr> cat README
*snip*
- Create shortcuts (for example with KHotKeys) for these commands:
amrklyr read
(Reads lyrics)
amrklyr save
(Stores lyrics)
amrklyr dele
(Deletes lyrics)
*snip*
[/code:1]

:whistle:

So, a \"amrklyr save\" command would open the editor for the current song, where you can paste the lyrics;
\"amrklyr read\" does the same, for reading lyrics;
\"amrklyr dele\" deletes lyrics.

More questions?

I understood the idea, but with this solution, locally amaroK doesn\'t save and load lyrics in the panel of it .. right ? We have to save and load (in an editor) manually lyrics at side of amaroK .. not really good to use ... better than nothing I know..

I would add it to the panel if I knew C enough

Just didn\'t want to wait until this function is finally integrated in amaroK, so thats why there is amrklyr

amaroK caches the lyrics now.
