Winamp Lyrics Program
Ambient Morality
Does anyone use this particular program with Winamp? I've been using it for
small parties, and it's caught on like wildfire with singalongs and that
sort of thing. I've got 60+ mp3s with the lyrics embedded in the files
now, and I'd be happy to post whatever lyrics I have/find, with timestamps
included, if there's enough of an interest in it.
Reply to the group if you use this. If you're interested in the program,
you can download the plug-in at:

Kinda cool to have your own karaoke. Give it a try.

yourself.

The one which I was using (not sure if its the same one mentioned in the
original post) was basically an extra winamp window which had a number of
options for displaying lyrics for the music being played. The catch is that
you need to have a text file with the lyrics in them AND for it to work like
a karaoke machine each line of the lyrics needs to have a time programmed in
for it to be displayed. As I recall a program was included in the package
which made that process somewhat easier.
hope that helps a little

VIDiot
Here' it is, the latest-best version of the Winamp Lyrics Player
available!!! 100's of my MP3s have their lyrics 'embedded' within
them-selves, I also have exported most of them to usable-.LRC files,
(I recommend you use .TXT files, if you copy/paste lyrics into a .TXT
file, the player will 'find' the lyrics, and it won't change the MP3's
ID3-Tag, (for some reason, .LRC files tend to change the ID3 tags).
I have also made a custom-skin for winamp's Player/EQ/PlayList
(even for the 'mini-views')... "and" the lyrics player, will post that
soon! Screen-shots included, post a msg if you want me to post the
skins here, (See attatched-Screen shots).
Enjoy!!
