TuneWiki Import

[ionut]

Is there a way to import synchronized lyrics from TuneWiki? The service seems to have an API, but I couldn't find any information about the licensing terms.

Here's an example of lyric file:

Another interesting source is Evil Lyrics, which uses a special format for karaoke files and has a database of 90782 files:

There's also a great database of karaoke lyrics:

thanks very much for the pointers. I think i can make use of http://www.lyrdb.com/ and will attempt that on the weekend

evil lyrics i cant see a way to access the data through an API and i gather they would want to add a player to their product rather than me adding them

tunewiki looks great but i cant see any documentation on the api at all - where did you find that link?

it was easy to implement LYRDB so if anyone wants to try this out:

you need to add in the Auto-Tag preferences/ Lyrics Providers

TuneWiki is a cool mobile app for iPhone and Android.

Tunewiki.com has a searchable database of songs and it shows YouTube videos next to synchronized lyrics. I used a Firefox extension (Live HTTP Headers) to get the URL of the lyrics file.

Here's an unofficial way to use TuneWiki's API (I installed their WMP toolbar and obtained the URLs with a packet sniffer):

http://www.tunewiki.com/tunewiki/services/getLyricXML_2?lang=&artist=Madonna&title=Celebration&album=Celebration&videoId=&vidSrc=&user=twtemp~ebf4ba930c172393cd7c2fde153a6102&device=1000&resolution=1280x800

(change the values for artist, title, album and it should work)

I'm not sure if the "user" parameter is really necessary, I got an XML file without using that value.
