Read Lyrics while listening to songs with Lyrics Plugin
Lyrics Plugin, is an excellent add-on, crafted for music lovers. Its possible that now you can read the lyrics of the track being played by you in Winamp or Windows Media Player, This can come very handy in case the songs you listen has complex words or something pronounced very differently ( ROCK SONGS )!!!!
How the Plugin works when you play the song
Music files has something called as ID3 tag. These tags define the where and about of any song. So, if the song you are playing, has tags matching to some entry on the database, you will get the lyrics displayed in your lyrics window.
If somehow you don’t find the lyrics, you can simply click on the Edit Button given in the lyrics window, and enter the Title, Artist, and Lyrics. This entry will be submitted to the database, and next person who listens to this song will have the lyrics, so in this way you are helping lyricsplugin.com and a music lover of your kind.
Before you edit the lyrics, you should try changing the tags, i.e. Title, Artist, Album,
As sometimes you might not be able to see the lyrics, just because the file you are playing doesn’t have tags, or wrong tags. Plugin for Windows Media Player too, has same properties too.
Installation
Installation of these Plugins is simple as any other installations, once you are done with the installation part, open your Winamp, if you don’t see the lyrics window, just get it by Alt+Y. Attach it with Winamp as per your convenience, regarding the position and dimension.
Lyrics Plugin for Winamp or Lyrics Plugin for Windows Media Player, can be downloaded here.I liked this plugin a lot, hope you too like it. As this plugin is still in development phase, so any issues you face, can be reported here.

goin crazy here.using plugin on wmp 10, and can’t save the lyrics to the songs…many aren’t on the net and i’ve written them by hand…but they disappear. if i don’t leave them permanently in now playing with wmp on. i can’t seem to save or embed the lyrics for any future use. the display is great, have i not installed properly, and do i have to ne online always to obtain lyrics, even if i’ve added them prior? i’ve been hoping to lose songbooks and use a laptop on gigs….i’ve been on this 2 weeks solid, have tried numerous players, plugins, even karaoke…i don’t need the time markers. just a big bold display like i get with this plugin…just can’t manage to retain it? please help or if you have any suggestions or other options, i will be unbelievably greatful, and less sleep deprived! thanks
yeah, i am having a similar problem,the lyrics plug-in works great on-line, but as im a working muso, i need to play my songlist using wmp 10, and have the full screen lyrics display available offline.i guess i was hoping to enter the lyrics of all my songs manually,and for wmp to retain them, so that when i bring a song up, the lyrics come too. I even looked into embedding the lyrics into the songs eg, mp3-g, but that got a bit complicated for my peanut brain, so if someone in cyberspace has a suggestion, im all ears, thanks.
@ shelley,johnboy, The lyrics plugin works on kind of mechanism in which you can add the lyrics, but these lyrics are uploaded to the database on their servers, not locally on your HDD, so even if you have entered them manually you cannot access them until and unless you are online.
well i tried going to the help forum provided but that only redirected to the download page so i hope you don’t mind me posting my question/s here instead.
how do i configure and edit the lyrics when the links get through but never actually accomplish the task once i submit?
i get the whole ‘have to be online to do anything’ but this has me stumped. possibly, i thought since i switched to firefox as default browser (it was ie8 when i first installed it) and uninstalled ie8 (but still retaining some features for some reason) and service pack three so could that be the problem? when i click configure/search google, it still opens in an internet based window so i’m not quite sure.
i actually really loved this plugin when i first got it as a replacement for the suddenly buggy ‘advanced tag editor-lyrics’ and i delighted in its lyric feature, particularly for only having to add only for the few, unknown foreign songs–even the ones with just characters could be quickly annotated! and a quick search funtion..wow >ww<
so obviously it came as a huge disappointment when one day i just opened media player and found i could neither 'configure' text colours or backgrounds. i could still 'search google' though that was kinda unnescessary seeing i couldn't even 'edit' any lyrics anymore.
being one who very literally can't Live without having the lyrics easily at hand -spent whole days searching for a replacement for advanced tag editor- i'd very appreciate it if someone could help me out on this.
thank you for reading and sorry to bother you.
