Whole Album/Directory Lyrics Tool, Created a Lyrics Tool... help me improve it :) Options

[ResidualImages]

New Version 1.0.0.14



'Lyrics' is released without warranty or implied fitness for a particular purpose.
This is fan-created for use by other fans of MP3Tag and AutoIT. Now with Lyrics Wiki data!

Any questions should be directed at Matt_Burke@baylor.edu

There are major changes to the .10+ version. There are now 3 steps. Export, Get Lyrics, and Import Lyrics. There is a Readme.PDF in the zip; I'll provide a Google Docs version here.

This tool relies on Internet Explorer being installed on your machine, and may from time to time create an Internet Explorer window that you can see. Feel free to close this window; I'm not sure why the object, which is set to IEobject.visible = false, is sometimes visible and doesn't automatically close. This has been optimized out, so it only uses one instance of Internet Explorer through the entire process. I have noticed that sometimes audio advertisements on the lyricswiki.com or darklyrics.com sites will begin to play on this invisible window. don't worry, you didn't suddenly get ghosts in your computer

SPEAKING OF WHICH:
This tool now defaults to LyricsWiki.com as its lookup; however, per Luctus's request, I have the option of DarkLyrics.com lookups as an alternative. Please review the changes in the Readme.pdf file, but feel free to ask for clarification or assistance.

You can also just use the executable outside of MP3tag to get the lyrics ahead of time for complete directories or specific files. That way, you can just have an "import lyrics" action in MP3tag, and thereby skip the first 2 of the 3 steps in the above PDF. However, running the executable relies on parts of Windows that may not ship standard in European editions of Windows. That is why there is the option to create an 'Export file' from within MP3tag.

New "-quiet" feature to bypass summary window, and improvements to code that may address the 'variable error' issues that soehest found.

Also, like soehest also found, LyricsWiki has some songs that they give 'teaser' lyrics for, but are not allowed to display full lyrics. these are now treated as if the lyrics were not found at all.

Feedback welcome and appreciated.

Oh no new issue

Getting this on some songs:

Unfortunately, we are not licensed to display the full lyrics for this song at the moment. Hopefully we will be able to in the future. Until then, how about a random page?
[I want to edit metadata]

There needs to be a check to stop downloading those lyrics as they are not complete. I have no clue to what criteria sets this off.

good job, haha. I know that's possible to happen, but I had never seen it actually happen. I'll put a check in there for that.

Hehe i find the odd bugs ;-) There is an example here to help you test:

alright, there's a small revision now.

this will allow you to hide the summary window (per LyricsLover's request)

it will also ignore lyrics with the "sorry, life sucks and we aren't allowed to give you the full lyrics" disclaimer

and finally, soehest, please see if your error still happens for the 4000+ files folder.

Nice new revision
I can say that my test run on my 4000+ folder ran perfectly without crashing like last time, so you did manage to fix that bug :-) Also it will no longer fetch those teaser lyrics. Great work :-)

Best regards
