Thanks everyone for participating in this discussion. I'm going to summarise where we've landed and close this thread on a constructive note.
What @GaryF is looking for: a way to fetch lyrics directly within Mp3tag as part of his tagging workflow, ideally through an action he can run on multiple files.
The current technical situation:
- Mp3tag cannot fetch web content through Actions. This is a limitation of how Actions work.
- The available method are Tag Sources, which fetch data one file at a time from online sources.
- There are several community-created lyrics web source scripts, though they may need testing to find which sources still work reliably.
For @GaryF specifically: I understand the existing topics can be confusing and that you're looking for a clearer starting point. If you're interested in trying the suggested Tag Sources Scripts, please revisit the topic [WS] Import lyrics from websites
If something you find in there is unclear, feel free to start a fresh topic asking, e.g., "Can someone suggest a working lyrics web source script with simple installation and usage instructions?". Please keep in mind that this would only work for one file at a time.
For now, I take your original question as a feature request — however, I don't want to elicit high hopes for a speedy realisation.
Thanks @ohrenkino and @MotleyG for trying to help!
