iTunes lyrics importer

[treefingers]

I used to use iLyrics, but that doesn't work anymore due to copyright issues

Does anyone know other alternative lyric importers, that work?

what the hell is a lyrics importer?

 

[Opportunity Cost]

Yeah what does it do?

 

[ManWithNoName]

Well I'm going to take a gamble here and say it imports the lyrics for your songs.

figured that.
but what does it actually do with them?

 

[Fender]

Put the friggen lyrics with the songs. Some way the album artwork works I spose.

In the song info section of iTunes, there's a Lyrics tab. It'd put them there.

Yeah and on the touch the lyrics come up over the artwork. A few of my songs have it, don't really care either way but it would be sick if there was a program for this out there.

The thing to remember about using Itunes functions like importing lyrics or album covers is that they only stock music that is sold through Itunes.

If, like me, 80% or your music collection is not on Itunes then its not very practical.

I'm currently manually getting album covers for my 100g of mp3's. Once I've finished that I am considering doing lyrics next, or I might go back through wikipedia and add all the covers I've found on the net that they don't have

I have no idea, all I do know is that when I ran the abum cover function I was left with most of my mp3 collection having nothing so I have had to go out and find them myself.

I don't use Itunes to purchase music (I prefer to buy the CD) so I haven't looked into it too hard

I'd say that it wouldn't be because your music isn't ON iTunes - I'd say it's the way that your music is tagged isn't being recognised by iTunes.

probably, but I have a very specific way all my mp3's are sorted which I am not about to change cos it would be too much like hard work
