Title: Ability to use the web to find lyrics
Post by: Maleko12 on November 09, 2009, 10:10:22 PM: This is only if one runs the "Update missing lyrics only" option and "No changes" comes up as the result. This should be an option, not a requirement... that may get annoying.

Post by: Maleko12 on November 16, 2009, 08:43:20 AM: sorry, i meant if one we're to use the Update lyrics option and NO lyrics are found. Thus, an (optional) option should come up and do an online search for the tracks that can't be found (besides using lyricwiki and lyricsplugin).

Post by: Steven on November 16, 2009, 08:57:27 AM: ok, so if no matches then an option to open a tab which does a lyrics search in google for the artist and track? I guess it would only work well if you are auto-tagging just one file

Post by: Maleko12 on November 16, 2009, 09:03:15 AM: exactly! that would be perfect.

Post by: Steven on November 23, 2009, 07:50:14 PM: i've done this for the latest 1.2 beta but only when tagging one file.
Also the lyrics in the track information panel provides a google search link if no lyrics are located, and you can now right click and paste lyrics from the clipboard directly into a music file

Post by: tincanman2010 on March 22, 2010, 01:15:43 AM: Is it possible to search for lyrics by file name rather than tag?
Because I do a lot of listening on my iPod and do not want to have 500 artists with 1 song each, I will batch retag in this format: ARTIST - blues TITLE BB-King - Thrill is Gone. In this way I have a combination of full albums (normal tagging) and selected songs in groupings of my own choosing. This way I can choose 'Blues' as an artist on my iPod. I have about 20 unique 'artists' such as this, as well as the normal full albums, podcasts, etc. Its warped probably, but with an 80 gig iPod stuffed full, it works for me when a playlist or sort by genre won't quite cut it. (This is on my everyday library of course, not the pristine version)

Anyway, that does stop lyric checkers from working. But as the file name never changes, could it search by that for the lyrics instead of my genius/eccentric tagging?
