Lyricsplugin Search Script

[spacefish]

Check the screenshot in jn's first post. From the auto-tag Options menu, you can choose to search the lyrics plugin, just like you would search Amazan Japan or Canada. When that's selected, the dialog only searches for lyrics. So yes, it's the same auto-tag window (Ctrl-L), you just need to change where it searches.

I'm a little confused. I haven't installed this yet because I'm afraid of a conflict. When pressing Ctrl-L tag information is searched for. But you're using the same hotkey to search for lyrics?

Yes, take a look at the screenshot and you'll see how to select between these options.

The only improvement I can see on this script is to enable it so that it processes tracks in "batch" -- not just selecting multiple tracks, but update each without needing to "auto-tag" for each track. For me, if I end up with a bad set of lyrics, easy enough to remove and/or update so not critical if I end up with a couple of "bad" lyrics attached. I'd rather have 99% of my songs processed quickly than to try and do hundreds one with "auto-tag" for each. Excellent script though...

nice script although I get an error when trying to get the lyrics, I get an VBS Runtime error #424 object required 'lyrics' line 74 column 25. I can click past it and it works, just annoying

I've gotten this error a couple times also, the line is

Code: Select all

                         SDB.Tools.WebSearch.NewTracks.Item(i).Lyrics = lyrics.innerText

I suspect its a delay in retreiving the text lyrics, because the window is blank for a second then the error pops up, then the lyrics text appears.

You might try:

Code: Select all

 If lyrics Is Not Nothing Then

instead of IsObject(lyrics)

or something like that, because it seems the 'lyrics.innertext' is not completely valid sometimes.

Got to admit I like this plug-in, very useful, but I do wish I could download the lyrics for every song on album at the same time. But I definitely like not having to listen to a song to use the plug-in.

Im definetly lovin this script it's what i was looking for, but... there's a chance
that you can embed this script??? please

[spacefish]

Embed it how? It's part of the auto-tag from web dialog.

I am getting this error all the time now and I'm unable to save the lyrics to the tag. Restarting MM resolves it, for the time being.

Jn, I have two databases..one for my mp3 music and one WAV...same music, different formats When I tag each library individually with lyrics it works fine. However, I noticed when I copy the recently tagged mp3 or WAV album to another HD (backup) and load the backup library, the lyric tags for that album are no longer there. Does this script tag the file?? or just store the lyric info in the db? Thanks.

[Carlosk]

I mean if you can make it dockable, like the script that makes minilyrics embeded http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9679, you know a way to make the window stay and not open it every time. please

[jn]

Does this script tag the file??

Yes; when I use the script to tag and listen to the file using another media player, the lyrics show up.

Any thoughts on the error reported above? I'm getting it occasionally as well.

Any update for this error? It happens often enough to be really annoying. I can't always restart MM.
