Whole Album/Directory Lyrics Tool

Thanks, tbum20 and ohrenkino for chiming in.

both of you have fine ideas. perhaps one of those pieces of advice will work out better for LyricsLover

Yes. For c) ohrenkino's %unsyncedlyrics% IS ""is a nice solution!

Now I hope for a solution for a ) and b ). For a big song collection it would be nice to have the lyric files in one single directory, not everywhere on the disks. The same for b ): If you search the lyrics for a huge amount of songs, the result- and final window isn't that interesting .-)

glad you liked one of their solutions.

I am on call this week at work, so I'm getting sleep when I can. hopefully next week I'll be able to create some extra options as far as file paths and results window for you; I may just make a special LyricsLover version especially for you! because otherwise, I want to keep it the way it is for me. :wink:

A special version only for me? :w00t: Wow!
I really hope that other users appeciate this features too. :sunglasses:

haha, alright, i'll try to wrap it up next week.

I like this tool but it seems to be choking for me on large collections:

I am getting this error (attached as screenshot every time i run it on my music folder 4000+ files)

Best Regards



Exciting! I'll look into that error this week as well. something specific about what you're doing has exposed a flaw in my code somewhere.

Thank you; if I can't track it down, I may ask a question or two of you. But that type of error is usually fixed by correcting some dumb line I overlooked.

Glad you like it, now let's get rid of that error :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh no new issue :smiley:

Getting this on some songs:

Unfortunately, we are not licensed to display the full lyrics for this song at the moment. Hopefully we will be able to in the future. Until then, how about a random page?
[I want to edit metadata]

There needs to be a check to stop downloading those lyrics as they are not complete. I have no clue to what criteria sets this off.

good job, haha. I know that's possible to happen, but I had never seen it actually happen. I'll put a check in there for that.

Hehe i find the odd bugs :wink: There is an example here to help you test:

:slight_smile:

alright, there's a small revision now.

this will allow you to hide the summary window (per LyricsLover's request)

it will also ignore lyrics with the "sorry, life sucks and we aren't allowed to give you the full lyrics" disclaimer :stuck_out_tongue:

and finally, soehest, please see if your error still happens for the 4000+ files folder.

Hey I dont know if this was mentioned before. I really like the tool, it does the job very well. It would be very nice to have an option to search for song lyrics without the artist name. That way one can find lyrics for songs that were covered by different artists.

Great work overall, thanks!

Nice new revision :music:
I can say that my test run on my 4000+ folder ran perfectly without crashing like last time, so you did manage to fix that bug :slight_smile: Also it will no longer fetch those teaser lyrics. Great work :slight_smile:

Best regards

bobjonst makes a good point, Thanks a lot for taking the time to pick this project backup and keep it running to perfection. Its a great tool, props!

Tbum

thank you for your kind words! :slight_smile:

this should be possible, but I'll have to think of how to actually implement it cleanly. There will probably have to be a 2nd export 'action' set up in MP3Tag to do covers/songs without artists.

soehest, that's the kind of reply that really makes my day. "no problems, we're all good here" is a wonderful feeling :smiley:

thanks for your time finding the bugs. feel free to pass along any other things you find or think of as improvements~

Tbum, thanks for your support. Sure, I like having the tool for myself, but sharing it and having solid feedback is awesome! :laughing:

Very good job. Thank's a lot for all your efforts and time :smiley:

thanks Usram! and welcome to the forums :slight_smile:

Hello
this is my first post, this tool is exactly what I have been looking for and works for me pretty well, but I wonder if I did something wrong?
it seems to take ages just to do an album or 2 (around 10 -15 minutes?) and will hang sometimes with loads of little windows open and state 'internet explorer has stopped working'
I use windows 7 and IE9 if that is important?

otherwise keep up the good work
thanks
