You should put Rapgenius too, its hard to find some underground rap lyrics with this plugin, rapgenius have they all

Hi,
I'm just wondering how this plugin works (I mean what it does technically) ?
If possible I would like to have a title filter on this like disregarding anything  on a parenthesis(parenthesis included) which is usually used on "feat." because most site can't find the proper lyrics with these on.
I don't want to rename any of music files but if this is not possible, I guess I'll just stick with it.

Thanks

I just downloaded MusicBee and I'm amazed by how good it is. Blew Winamp out of the water! And your plug in is amazing! But I definitely agree with the guy above saying that Rapgenius must be added as a lyrics source! Rapgenius is the best!

RapGenius has been added - see the first post
It seems very comprehensive from my own tests

Thanks for the update 

I'd love to see at least one of the 3 providers was added:

1. http://www.tekstowo.pl/ - 671 061 lyrics in the database;
2. http://www.teksciory.pl/ -  641 802 lyrics in the database;
3. http://teksty.org/
These databases are the best ones for Polish music, some of them also provide translations for songs in other languages into Polish.
I can help with translation if needed.


BTW. What do you think of: http://www.plyrics.com/ 
They claim to be a #1 lyrics source dedicated to punk music, providing you with the accurate lyrics for punk, indie, hardcore and similar bands.
Their partners are:
AZLyrics.com for pop lyrics
DarkLyrics.com for metal lyrics
UrbanLyrics.com for hip-hop lyrics - currently unsupported with the plugin.

The first mentions that you want someone to pick up the plugin and continue it, however I can't find the source.
I would definitly work on this!

i have PM'ed you the source - you are free to do with it as you want. My only suggestion is not to add too many sites or at least only ones which provide a clear and unique difference

[Steven]

plugin has been updated to include:
PLyrics.com - for punk lyrics
UrbanLyrics.com - for urban lyrics

see the first post in this topic for the download link

Just a suggestion:

http://www.oldielyrics.com

for 1980's and earlier Artists

Thank you very much for the update 

I'm glad there is a Developer to help with the plugin.

Including one of the services mentioned in my post above for Polish lyrics would be more than welcomed.
Both MusicBee and the plugin have failed so far in providing lyrics for many Polish songs. AFAIK there is no alternative software to use in that case. Implementing at least one of the 3 providers:
1. http://www.tekstowo.pl/ - 671 061 lyrics in the database;
2. http://www.teksciory.pl/ -  641 802 lyrics in the database;
3. http://teksty.org/
would make MusicBee more popular with Polish speaking users.

I'm eager to help with an API translation if needed.
Thanks for considering 

BTW.
MusicBee has the highest rate in Music Organizers category in the most popular software portal in Poland (and one of top 20 most popular Polish websites):
http://www.dobreprogramy.pl/Katalogowanie-zasobow-multimedialnych,Kategoria,Windows,64.html
To sort by rate rightclick 'Ocena' if you like to see MusicBee at the top 

The number of downloads might be disappointing though:
only 8 198 until now, compared to 46 932 downloads for MediaMonkey Standard and even 24 515 for Helim Music Manager says nothing about the real value of the application. It only shows sad true that users usually download and use an application which is updated more frequently.

Being updated regularly (at least once a month) gives free marketing boost as the application is advertised on the main website. Users can review the app more often, share their opinions and download links.

Just a thought in connection with a discussion form yesterday about relatively small user base of Music Bee and some plugins.

Great! thanks for update the plugin!

Can you add http://www.jpopasia.com to the lyrics sources in the next release? Is one of the best for japanese artists (including rock, pop, metal ecc)

I'll write my own plugin from scratch with a completely different approach.
I think the idea I have will work pretty well
