I once saw a media player that had an interesting approach to lyrics. The program would take the length of the song and the length of the lyrics, and would automatically scroll the lyrics at a constant rate so that it reached the end of the lyrics when the song finished. That way the lyrics were usually close to the correct point on the song. I think it would be cool of Amarok's lyrics viewer did the same thing.

It isn't a very accurate approach, since the song can have pauses, parts that are sung more quickly or slowly, and a possible chorus. However, when dealing with a fairly large page of lyrics like you have in Amarok, it really doesn't have to be that exact. If you are dealing with any reasonable-length song you are probably talking scrolling over two or three pages at most. It is more likely to be at least close to the correct point on the lyrics than the current system is.

There is a bug for this submitted recently:
