[freekey]

can anyone please tell me what lyricsforall.zip is all about?

Is that an add-on to mp3tag?

Thank you.

[dano]

It's a web source script to save lyrics in the ID3v2 tag.

Thanks Dano. Works great.

A few questions:

- When viewing these files with iTunes, the lyrics show up in the lyrics tab but most of the lines begin with an HTML line-break tag (br). What can be done to prevent this?

- Is there a column I can add to Mp3tag to display whether it has lyrics in the tag?

- Is there a way to merge the lyrics-downloader with the line-breaks utility?

Do you have the latest version of the linebreak action and do you apply it after lyrics have been saved?
How do the lyrics look in Mp3tag? Check with ALT+T or click on
If all that does not work give me examples of songs.

You can add a column with the value $if(%UNSYNCEDLYRICS%,x,)

Is there a way to merge the lyrics-downloader with the line-breaks utility

Not at the moment.

Oops. It worked without the extra breaks after I ticked read & write ID3v2 in options.

Thanks Dano!

[ulysses]

It happened again.

Do you have the latest version of the linebreak action

Yes.

and do you apply it after lyrics have been saved?

Yes.

They have the HTML break (br) or (br /) tags.

If all that does not work give me examples of songs.

Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Hall & Oates - Out of Touch

Though it did work on some other songs.

[dano]

Ok, I didn't know they also use <br /> sometimes.
I included this now and the action now also changes the language description from undefined (XXX: ) to english (eng: )
I think if the language is not set to english, itunes rewrites the lyrics when saving tags.

[ulysses]

Thanks Dano. It now works with every song I try.

Now, if there was only a way to make this work on multiple selected files.

[dano]

Update!

[ulysses]

Awesome. Thanks Dano.

[Sammy20]

Is there are way to make this script work on multiple files? When I select multiple files it just saves the same tag from the first title search.


For the song 'New Order - Whos Joe' no results come up. Why is that? I tried

Who's joe?
whos joe

No result.

[dano]

1) It's not possible.

2) If the website doesn't return results for you entries, it's no surprise it doesn't work in Mp3tag..
How about who's joe

[dano]

Added Darklyrics.com for the (Heavy) Metal fans. It works different from the other scripts, it tags all songs from one album at once.
You also need album and artist tags filled (or know them).

[SquallLeonhart38]

Thanks for adding Darlyrics.com.
Now it's even easier to tag metal songs.
