[edit] Applications

[edit] LyricsFinder11

LyricsFinder11 is a freeware system tray application for Microsoft Windows that uses LyricWiki SOAP webservice. Displays the lyrics of the song that is currently playing on Winamp or iTunes or Last.fm (also works with some internet radio stations). LyricsFinder11 has a unique feature to identify songs via MusicDNS, when the song’s ID3 tags are incorrect or empty.

[edit] iTunesLyricsLocator

iTunesLyricsLocator is currently the only cross-platform, Java 1.5-based application which automatically updates a user's entire iTunes Music Library, or a specific "No Lyrics" playlist. The program's accuracy is matched only by its performance, as it will update each track with the correct lyrics sequentially. The application uses LyricWiki's SOAP webservice.

To process a select group of songs, or perhaps a group of albums, use the application in "No Lyrics" mode. Simply create a playlist in iTunes called "No Lyrics" and add songs to the playlist. When you are finished adding songs, double the click application, and click the Process button.

The program will run and update your songs with the lyrics. Once it is completed, you will see that all your tracks have been updated with the proper song lyrics.

iPods will be notified of the changes on the next sync. View lyrics on iPod nano, classic, Touch and iPhone.

The application will create a log file that will contain all of the console output.

iTunesLyricsLocator runs on Mac OS X 10.4/10.5 and Windows XP/Vista with Java 1.5+ and iTunes 7+

Download free at http://www.ra-cc.com

Aug 3, 2009 Update: We are extremely disappointed with the decision that has taken place here at LyricWiki in regards to the API use, because we have been forced to shutdown operation of our software. Until further notice, iTunesLyricsLocator is no longer available.

[edit] Shtaggle

Shtaggle is a Mac OS X application for tagging music in iTunes. It uses Last.FM to get tags, and allows you to use your own custom tags. It will send tags back to Last.FM if you have an account there, and will also send your tagging stats to shtaggle.co.uk if you register there! It also uses LyricWiki.org to get lyrics for the currently playing track. Read more at shtaggle.co.uk

[edit] LyricToy

[edit] Plugins for Media Players

LyricWiki.org is open to its content being used by plugins for media-players. Once the API is more full-featured, that may be very helpful. We would like to see plugins for all major media-players (and of course, minor players too!). If you know how to write a plugin for iTunes, MediaPlayer, etc. Please feel free to chip in.

If you have written a plugin, please add a section here with a description of the plugin and a link to where the plugin can be downloaded, as well as a way for us to contact you to warn you when changes are made.

Although not fully implemented, an alternative to screen scraping is to use the SOAP Webservice. Currently the SOAP webservice is under construction but you can check if a song exists and you can retrieve the lyrics for it.

[edit] LyricWiki (talk)

XMLyrics (now renamed "LyricWiki") is the first program to make use of the SOAP webservice. It was written by Cyber Sinh and is available for download here, more information is available here. The program supports French and English. Although it is an external application, once you load it up, you can set it to work with any of several media players. It uses WPF, so you need to install the .NET framework 3.0 to run it (included in Vista). This was developed and tested at the same time as the SOAP in conjunction with LyricWiki, so it works very well.

Supports:

  • WinAmp
  • foobar2000
  • musikCube
  • Windows Media Player

[edit] Amarok

[edit] Amarok LyricWiki.org Lyrics (talk)

A simple script to retrieve lyrics from LyricWiki.org and display them on the Lyric tab of the context browser. Now you can enjoy having lyrics that can be fixed when incorrect!

Note: In version 2.0 and all versions that use the SOAP service instead of screen-scraping do not correctly display special characters. This is a problem with the SOAP service and not a problem in the script. For more details on this, please refer to LyricWiki:SOAP/Ruby.
