More about LyricsAmp.
It appears that many people get to this site by searching for a plug-in/component for the Winamp player that provides automatic lyrics search and retrieve for the currently playing track.
I find it odd, but that is simply the way search engines work.
In order to help those people, here are two links. One is for LyricsAmp and the other for another similar component. Both are to their pages on winamp.com
LyricsAmp and Lyrix.
I have used both and decided they are about equal. Both have no problem finding popular songs, both do have a problem with the rare songs (that I've had no trouble finding on google), but Lyrix features an editor and saves to plaintext files and/or Lyrics3 tags inside the mp3 files themselves. LyricsAmp does not. Therefore, I use the former. Both clearly need some additional work to become really good.
Their main drawback, of course, is that you must have correct entries in the ID3 tags, including correct spelling (a big problem with mp3s tagged by hand. People, use CDDB/FreeDB, it will make life so much easier!). Otherwise, the idea is solid. If only it was implemented through something like XML-RPC and not the web, we could save a lot of bandwidth. And some stricter quality control (I've spotted errors sometimes, and I'm not a very critical reader).
I, of course, am NOT affiliated with Winamp, Nullsoft or the creators of the two components. I'm just a user, same as you. Comment here only if you have something to say to me.
Have a good day and don?t forget to leave a review for the author at the component's page if you've used it and have something to say.
