portable version of foobar2000.

both in metadata and .lrc file the other plugin works so that is not the problem it something with my config and foo_openlyrics needs to change its defaults

Tested Results. When Testing only one of these were applied as metadata as you said.

1. Metadata field SYNCEDLYRICS with timed Lyrics WORKS

2. LYRICS with timed Lyrics WORKS

3. even in UNSYBCEDLYRICS metadata field with timed lyrics synced lyrics WORKS

4. But when using Just .lrc not even unsynced lyrics show

5. I have .lrc in the same directory with the song both with the same name.

I wonder, if you edit lyrics (without the tags available, so it doesn't find anything), save them, and then restart foobar or play another track and come back (just so it reloads from fresh), does it find the lyrics you just saved? Does that save to the configuration directory to the expected file?

No lyrics shows when I deleted the metadata field and played it with foobar2000 but the lyricspanel was showing synced lyrics

foo_openlyrics can read it if it is in same directory?

It is a common practice to have .lrc and some in same folder.

LyricsPanel caches it in the foobar2000 folder iirc

Now I use [%fillename%] I have "Save to the same directory as the track"

Basically what the title says. I found out that outside fb2k, other music players and even my synced iPod just don't read the generic TXXX tag as a lyrics tag. This can be improved using dedicated tags like USLT for unsynchronized lyrics and SYLT for synchronized lyrics. Songs with these tags have no problems displaying lyrics everywhere you can read it.

I don't know if this feature is viable, but it will be a great step forward for a better standardized music library.

More info about the usage of the two tags here: ID3v2.3.0 Informal standard

Hi Jacques,

I just found your foobar component openlyrics and must say: I am very impressed. Keep up the excellent work, plz!!

The plugin seems very comprehensible, there is just one thing I miss: there is no way to add a shortcut enabling users to start a search. This would be especially useful for batch processing a big numer of files unattendedly. Is there a chance to implement this?

For what its worth: I just donated two books on your buymeacoffee site. :)

Best to you and this great project!!!

Strange observation: When a track is played without a track number (%track% doesn't exist), and lyrics a re searched and found, the track number will be set to 0 in the moment the lyrics are saved.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Configure OpenLyrics for auto-save to tag
2. Play a track where
   • %track% (track number) doesn't exist
   • but lyrics exist on one of the sources

Expected: 3. OpenLyrics searches for lyrics and finds some 4. OpenLyrics saves lyrics to tag 5. No other tags are touched

Observed: 3. OpenLyrics searches for lyrics and finds some 4. OpenLyrics saves lyrics to tag 5. %track% (track number) is updated and set to 0 (zero)

• How you think the new feature/improvement would be helpful, or what problem you think it would solve

Very obvious but,

1. Good for listening to music that the user doesn't speak language of.
2. Help in learning language.

I found this I don't if will help - https://github.com/Spikatrix/Traly https://github.com/markzhai/LrcCleaner https://github.com/brandonw3612/TranslateLrc https://github.com/slowfog/LrcSpliter https://github.com/marz1877/SyncedLyrics-.lrc_v2

When Lyrics are in both Lyrics and SyncedLyrics it plays Lyrics

Some time it prefers SyncedLyrics too

~Maybe for flac and mp3 it prefers SyncedLyrics and for opus Lyrics~

After some time lyrics get improved move accurate, better formatting especially for songs release 1 year ago.

This song was released in 2016 was in billlboard hot 100 year end and still gets better formatting just 2 weeks after I download it lyrics.

shocking is now shockin'

Some sources add information in asian text like this [00:00.00]I Will - Alison Krauss (艾莉森·克劳丝)/Tony Furtado which in this case I suppose is the artist's name in Chinese.

In any case, those look like double byte characters so they should't be too hard to filter out (space bracket text bracket)

I can't retrieve lyrics from Musixmatch - I tried retrieving token both automatically and manualy - neither work. As far as I can tell, the token's okay because it works in lyrics-plus. For referrence, using the same token:

In OpenLyrics:

In Spotify:

The token's 54 characters long if that helps

I set QQ music as one of the source and it used to work. It stopped working since a few days ago. I even tried to do manual search for the lyric of a song, which I've already downloaded the lyric from QQ, and it shows no result from QQ.

I have a file for a specific song save in the same folder and does not load. I rescanned manually as the error suggested and saved the file again but it always come up with the same error.

The LRC enhanced format supports additional timestamps within a line.

I'm not convinced its useful to support rendering those (just because its rather niche) but we could probably fairly easily parse them out and not render the timestamps.

Hello,

I'm planning to migrate from MiniLyrics and foo_uie_lyrics3 to OpenLyrics however I found out that none of my lyrics files are decoded correctly (jumbled text).

Left is OpenLyrics, middle is foo_uie_lyrics3, and right is MiniLyrics: This is what's shown on Lyrics Editor window:

Steps to reproduce

1. Play a music file with the lyric file located in the same folder named %filename%.lrc

Expected behavior

The lyrics of the song from the lyrics file are displayed with highlights at the right vocal.

Versions

• foobar2000 version: 1.6.14
• OpenLyrics version: 1.4

Additional information

Log file: log.log Example lyrics file: 8. Death Stranding.zip

Hope this can be fixed. Thank you.

W10, fb2k 2.0 64-bit beta 13, OpenLyrics 1.3 Using a 4k display with font scaling 125%. The Properties window appears to have the contents scaled as expected, but as the Properties dialog is not resizeable, part of the contents is chopped off.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set Windows font scaling to 125% (or anything higher than 100%)
2. Open foobar Properties
3. Navigate to the OpenLyrics tab

Expected behavior

Either disable font scaling (as many other properties dialogs do) or make the dialog content scrollable.

Spawned from #220, we already let you sort by individual columns, but we don't remember that order (partially by design so that the results don't jump around in the list as new results are added).

If we added a column for "result index" (or something...the number showing the order in which the result was added) then we could trivially let you sort on that as well as any other column, and then we could remember the sort order and if you cared about the consistency you could just leave it sorted by result index. On the other hand if you wanted it sorted by source (or whatever), then you could do that once and it'd remember.

While we're at it, it'd be nice if we could have the column titles visibly update to show the sort order. Not sure why they don't.

Thank you jacques for your contribution to the Foobar2000 community. Could you add the option to see the lyrics in full screen mode? And it would be very good if you could see the Album cover at the same time

Bulk search exists to allow users to easily collect lyrics for many tracks without having to manually search for each one. Since this presents an easy opportunity to heavily spam web sources, an artificial delay is intentionally introduced between searches for individual tracks. This is acceptable because bulk search is intended to be a mostly-background process.

However it is currently trivially possible to spawn many small bulk searches in parallel, thereby defeating the point of the artificial delay.

We should prevent users from trivially spawning many parallel bulk searches, but the naive way of doing that (simply disallowing new searches while one is in progress) gives very bad UX. Instead we should do what the Windows file copy utility does and simply tack the newly-requested tracks onto the end of the existing bulk-search queue. That way the user always has at most one bulk search in-flight at any given time, making it easy to manage without preventing them from adding new tracks to be searched while an existing search is in progress, but without spamming web sources.
