Hello, i am recently getting an error when adding lyrics. Has there been a change i am not aware of? Searching here finds older topics.
Thanks Tom

did you check out this thread:

> Is there a way this script can only just copy the lyrics but not the extra markups of italics? See for example: [https://genius.com/Eminem-kick-off-lyrics](https://genius.com/Eminem-kick-off-lyrics) There is italics on the end of the intro which results in the tag displaying "I need you to spit that lyrical miracle… in the swimming pool" Is there a way to remove the ? It's not a big deal since the source works really good but just something minor I noticed.

Thanks Ohrenkino for the help. I downloaded the updated src file and placed it in mp3tag\>data\>sources folder. Unfortunately same issue, i still get "error" in the "additional information" box in the "adjust tag information" dialog box.

LyricWiki: [LyricWiki - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LyricWiki#Edit_lock_and_closure)
> On April 2, 2019, LyricWiki was closed to editing by Fandom for repeated violations of the site's terms of service. The reasoning for this was that Fandom did not approve of images and lyrics that are "overly" sexual and/or shock people, aiming to be a "family-friendly site". **The site was shut down completely on September 21, 2020** , now redirected into [community.fandom.com](http://community.fandom.com), and data dump is not generated.

And Mediamonkey that has a lyrics-plugin (Lyricator) which works for several sources and files in one go.
[http://www.happymonkeying.com/plugin.php?q=300091](http://www.happymonkeying.com/plugin.php?q=300091)
But it is always the same fight as here with all websources. They have to be permanently maintained in order to keep them working.
It would be nice to have something like that for Mp3Tag.

I did some research and found the [https://happi.dev](https://happi.dev) service, which aggregates different APIs and also has a [Music API](https://happi.dev/docs/music) with Lyrics support.
They're offering a free tier, where users can register for an API key and get 8000 API calls each month. Of course, lyrics are protected under copyright law and can only be accessed for personal use.
The API is based on JSON and offers a track-based free text search where artist, album, and track IDs are returned which can be used for lyrics-lookup in the second step.
I think it would be possible to create a Tag Source for this service. I won't have resources for that for the coming weeks, but if anyone else wants to give it a try, I'm happy to help remove any possible roadblocks.

Thanks for all the help, t
