AnimeLyrics for MusicBee

[OmegaVesko]

I've been writing a simple AnimeLyrics (http://animelyrics.com/) plugin for my own use, so I figured I might as well share since I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a use for this.

Source repository: https://github.com/omegavesko/MusicBeeAnimeLyrics (the code is really a mess though, will clean up at some point)
Latest binary: https://github.com/omegavesko/MusicBeeAnimeLyrics/releases/latest

The current state of the plugin is, more or less, a working proof of concept. The algorithm it currently uses to find songs is very crude, but I've found that it works at least 50% of the time, provided that both the artist name and the song title are English/romaji, and not Japanese (since that's how they're stored on the site itself, there's not much I can do about that).

Thanks for sharing this!
Too bad I have Japanese tags (well, there's also the custom tags with other stuff, but that's weird and only used by me). I was actually thinking about making this a while ago until I realised that AnimeLyrics has pretty bad track identification, searching and AFAICT no public API (although that last one's actually pretty minor). I'm getting off topic now, though.....

Anyway, I'm looking at the source and it is a mess (although that's fine, I'm not any better with that stuff), but perhaps a bigger issue is that I'm not seeing source (or a binary) for your AnimeLyricsDownloader, so unless I'm blind you might want to fix that. I was gonna have a look at your search algorithm......
