Hi!
is there any feature (built-in or script) that allows searching and storing lyrics for multiple tracks at once?

Re: Bulk Updating Lyrics
Here is one approach:
Use the Magic Nodes add-in for Media Monkey 4 for Windows. Select Filter Examples and then Tracks Without Lyrics. Select all tracks and run Lyricator add-in to search for the lyrics (about 10 sources used). Once complete (may take a few hours) then Save.
Since Lyrics are added to the library files, just Re-Scan your library when you next open Media Monkey 5.
Repeat a few weeks later - you might be surprised at the number of lyrics added.
If you run a separate "library" for Media Monkey 4 and Media Monkey 5 then you will need to copy the updated files between the two libraries using Beyond Compare or Foldermatch.
The approach of using MMW4 add-ins alongside MMW5 is perhaps something we need to consider until the add-ins are updated for MMW5.

Thanks for your tip!
This means, I will first use old MM4 with suggested plugin and afterwards run MM5 as usual, right?
This approach requires that MM4 is still installed, pointing to the same tracks and locations, so must MM5, correct as well?

Re: Bulk Updating Lyrics
Yes, but you need to rescan in MM5 to see any changes made by the files by MM4.

Re: Bulk Updating Lyrics
Thanks to both for your answers!
OTH, MM5 should support this as a built-in solution later on!

Re: Bulk Updating Lyrics
Any news of a MM5 addon yet?
Re: Bulk Updating Lyrics
Personally I doubt any addon will work, because with too much requests most probably lyric source servers woudl block MM, thinking it is DDOS or similar.
