**[New Version 1.0.0.20](https://sites.google.com/site/droidburke/Lyrics.zip?attredirects=0&d=1)**

😛

SPEAKING OF WHICH:  
This tool now defaults to **[LyricsWiki.com](http://LyricsWiki.com)** as its lookup; however, per Luctus's [request](http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?act=findpost&pid=59707), I have the option of **[DarkLyrics.com](http://DarkLyrics.com)** lookups as an alternative. Please review the changes in the Readme.pdf file, but feel free to ask for clarification or assistance. I have also just added **[ViewLyrics.com](http://ViewLyrics.com)** as an option, per [Zedicus's request](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/6921/88).

You can also just use the executable outside of MP3tag to get the lyrics ahead of time for complete directories or specific files. That way, you can just have an "import lyrics" action in MP3tag, and thereby skip the first 2 of the 3 steps in the above PDF. However, running the executable relies on parts of Windows that may not ship standard in European editions of Windows. That is why there is the option to create an 'Export file' from within MP3tag.

_**New "-quiet" feature to [bypass summary window](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/6921/37), and improvements to code that may address the ['variable error'](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/6921/46) issues that soehest found.**_

New "-nostrip" feature to skip the check for cell phone ringtone advertisement lines in lyrics from LyricsWiki. This feature is to address the missing lines that tappan [is experiencing](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/6921/93).

Also, like soehest [also found](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/6921/48), LyricsWiki has some songs that they give 'teaser' lyrics for, but are not allowed to display full lyrics. these are now treated as if the lyrics were not found at all.

As [PeterPan176 found](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/6921/107), there have been some changes on LyricsWiki which were adding "junk" Java code to the beginning and end of all lyrics. Attempted a fix in version 1.0.0.20.

Feedback welcome and appreciated.
