Someone on [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/ipod/comments/1j6ox11/love_this_thing_so_much_just_started_adding_lyrics/) is adding About This Song info to the start of their lyrics.

I am so intrigued by this. Is it possible to somehow automate this with a script?

For instance, can the text be taken from a [Genius page](https://genius.com/Set-it-off-wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-lyrics) and then prepended to already existing lyrics?

Technically speaking: Yes this is possible.

Unfortunately scraping a webpage like your mentioned nice and colorful "[Genius](https://genius.com/Set-it-off-wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-lyrics#about)" one is very error prone and breaks with every small change on that website.

If a website offers an API (an interface that let users search for something and give back some useful answer in a technical format like JSON or XML) there is a much higher chance that anyone will write a Web Sources Script.

The part to add the "About the Song" text in front of your lyrics would not be too tricky in Mp3tag.  
The part to get the correct and matching information from a reliable source is much more complicated.

Most websites doesn't let you search for too many songs in a specifc time. So even with a new script it could take a very loooong time to fill your songs with the appropriate information from the internet.
