23. http://comprendo.info/ - Have you ever wonder what is this song about  ??? 
Here you can find:

- the lyrics for the currently playing track;
- the lyrics translation into Polish;
- origami CD cover generator: http://comprendo.info/origami   (watch in You Tube)
- interpretation  of the song  8).
- You can also share your thoughts about the song (in English or Polish) and ask for explanation.
The service is integrated with Songbird          and You can use it with MusicBee as well !

HOW-TO:
1. Right-click on the Artwork and Lyrics panel, which is in the right sidebar by default;
2. Choose: 'Configure Panel Layout';
3. Tick "Show track details panel" (if it's unticked)
4. Go to 'Web Links' tab;
5. Add the service:     Name:       Comprendo:
URL:        http://comprendo.info/search?query=<Artist>-<Title>
6. Click: Apply and Save.
Done  :)

Now while listening to the song just click to Comprendo weblink in the right sidebar to find the lyrics, interpretations or share your ideas about it  8) Isn't it cool  ???

BTW, Users who liked the Comprendo service in Songbird are welcome to switch to MB  ;)

BTW 2, You can add some other services from the websites introduced in this topic in a very similar way.
MB potential of customization is unlimited ;D

Thank you, Steven  :)

24.  www.epitonic.com  (its back!)

edit:
free mp3's, mostly indie.  Back in the early aught's, they had tons and tons of free, legal music.  Then it kinda died out.  They seem to have songs that aren't available (for free) elsewhere (label's and artist's websites, etc).

Could you write a few words about the service as I'm not familiar with it  ???

25. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_online_music_databases  - this Wikipedia list is continuously updated and contains descriptions and links for the most popular online music services and databases. Some of them have already been implemented to work with Music Bee - and more to come  ???.

Hi!
 I'm a new MusicBee user and i've some problem in find right lyrics for my albums. I'm Italian  (Sorry for my english!) so often i can find lyrics for my italian songs using the normal Musicbee sources (including plugin's). Include websites on the internal MB browser can be an excellent source for me but i can't understand how this can inlude automatically lyrics in my mp3 from the websites i've bookmarked.
Can you explain more specifically how to use this 'websites lyrics sources'?

Hello, I was wondering if I get any help here, when I search for missing artwork, ONLY last.fm and google sources work, amazon, discogs and beatport have not found a single artwork yet. Is there any way to fix this ? Maybe I need to edit some config ?

Amazon is known to not work. See http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=4062.0 Not sure about the rest though. What version of MB are you running?
RIP OiNK


I've recently joined last.fm - http://www.last.fm/user/drjswho

Does anybody know which version had a11mus1c support ?

I'm installing various old versions, but so far, can't find one that have a11mus1c..

As far as I remember there was a11mus1c tagging in 2012 or 2013 ? Before they asked to remove it..

a11mus1c is so that search engines don't index the correct word..

Even if you found a version that had it listed, their api had probably changed since then, making it unusable

If you still want to pursue this, I believe phred keeps a repository of all old MB versions.
You could PM him to get some old versions.
And then I guess, start from the oldest and work your way up until it breaks...

I read on the forum and one guy mentioned AM support in December 2011, I checked archive.org, but that was the old design back then which will not work now.

Was MusicBee using API ? or just getting the tags from website pages ?


I saw that new AM website was redesigned around 2013 summer - August, September.

So the question now is, was there MusicBee AM support in 2013 September ?

I never used it, desired it, nor was I ever aware of it being supported in MB. That doesn't mean it wasn't. I just don't know.

At this point in time, I don't have -all- old versions, but I have a lot. I suggest you start here: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?board=6.0 and see if you can home in on a particular version you'd like to try. If you find a couple, PM me with an email address and what version(s) you'd like to try. I'll see if what I have comes close to what you're requesting.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.
