I am a Windows 10 user, and have used Minilyrics with iTunes for almost two years and never had problems before.However, Minilyrics has stopped working with iTunes since I updated iTunes to version 12.7 a few days back. I am using Minilyrics version 7.7.49.
There seems to be a compatibility problem with the new version 12.7 of iTunes, as Minilyrics is still working fine with other music players I use my computer (Windows player and Media Monkey).Minilyics does not open when I start iTunes, although it automatically opens when i open the other 2 players, and displays the lyrics of songs played through these other players.
When i click/open Minilyrics, it gives me the option to open iTunes , but when i choose that option, it opens iTunes and gives a popup message that the Minilyrics plugin for iTunes is not correctly installed , and to reinstall the iTunes plugin. After i choose the option to reinstall the plugin , Minilyrics still does'nt work with iTunes and repeats its message that the iTunes plugin has not been correctly installed.
Check the media files and the version of the stored tag type ... ID3v2.3 ... or ... ID3v2.4.
Make sure to use the tag version, which is compatible with each other software application.
Today the most compatible tag type version is ID3v2.3.
If you have not changed the colum definition of the file list, you may scroll right to see which tags are in the files and which are displayed.
If the column is missing then either enable it again or create a new one with this contents for
VALUE: %_tag_read%[ (%_tag%)]
(leave FIELD empty)
I have check the tag and I did my settings. I realized that by writing well against the words on. Mp3 files but not on my flac.. Is this normal? By cons I have on my mp3 files this. XXX at the beginning of my words. Why and how to remove them?
Mp3tag uses the "" pipe symbol as a visible surrogate character for the invisible binary null value.
Therefore Mp3tag is able to support the USLT structure ...

Google is your friend.
You must not have ID3 tags and FLAC tags in the file at the same time (apparently EAC does that).
The field for FLAC files is apparently called LYRICS.
I cannot guarantee for any of this as I have no flacs.
This tutorial will show you how to install the Unicorn HAT Mini Python library and then walk through its functionality - how to light pixels, control colour and brightness, and then finish with an example of how to MAKE IT RAINBOW!
Please note the LEDs on Unicorn HAT Mini are not Neopixels/WS2812 addressable LEDs - they are ordinary RGB LEDs made 'smart' with a pair of Holtek matrix driver chips. All this means is that they use a different library to Unicorn HAT and pHAT so you'll need to make sure you download the right one. If you have one of our older boards you can find a tutorial for Unicorn pHAT here.
We always recommend using the most up-to-date version of the full desktop version of Raspberry Pi OS, as this is what we test our boards and software against, and starting with a completely fresh install is usually a good idea. We'll assume you've got a monitor, keyboard and mouse plugged into your Pi, although it's also possible to do all the steps in this tutorial 'headlessly' if you prefer (that's connecting to your Pi over SSH from another computer).
Next, we'll need to download the library from Github, and run the installer. For this bit your Pi will need to be connected to wifi (there should be a wifi icon in the taskbar at the top right you can click on to do that if you're not connected).
We'll be programming our Pi via REPL (that's typing our Python commands directly into the Python interpreter, one line at a time). If you'd rather have a slightly more friendly interface, the code below should also work in a Python IDE such as Thonny. Open a new terminal and type python3 to open a new Python prompt.
To light a pixel on Unicorn HAT Mini in a particular colour, we have to do twothings: first, we have to use the set_pixel() function to specify which pixelwe want to light and in what colour and, second, we have to use the show()function to update the Unicorn HAT Mini and actually display the pixel that we set.
Pixels on Unicorn HAT Mini are organised by their x/y coordinates from the top lefthand corner, so the top left pixel is 0, 0 and the bottom right pixel is16, 6. Remember that, in Python, things are numbered from 0 rather than from 1.
To light all of the pixels on Unicorn HAT Mini, it's just a matter of repeating theprocess we just did once for each of the 119 pixels. We can make this reallyquick and easy by using two for loops: one to loop through each column, andanother to loop through each pixel in each of those columns.
Now we're going to use a while loop to make your Unicorn pHAT blink pink. Allwe have to do is continuously light all of the pixels pink, using the techniquewe just learned, and clear them again, with a short delay, maybe a quarter of asecond in between.
This is just the same as in the example where we made all of the pixels light incyan, except we changed the RGB colour to 255, 0, 255 and we added a couple oflines to sleep for a quarter of a second - time.sleep(0.25) - and to clear allof the pixels - uh.clear().
For our last example, we'll get a little more complex and make a rainbow animateacross your Unicorn HAT Mini. As well as representing colours in RGB, we can alsouse a system called HSV (hue, saturation, value) that uses the colour wheel todetermine the hue of a colour. The colour wheel begins and ends at red, andprogresses through all of the other colours of the rainbow in order. Eachposition on the colour wheel is represented by a compass position in degrees,with red being at 0/360 degrees.
Fortunately, there's a Python library called colorsys that lets you convertHSV colour values to RGB colour values that we can feed into the set_pixel()function. So, to animate our rainbow we just have to continuously cycle aroundthe colour wheel through all of the colours of the rainbow.
spacing = 360.0 / 34.0 means that we'll space half of the colour wheel acrossthe 17 pixel width of Unicorn HAT Mini at any one time. You can reduce the 34.0 toget more of the colour wheel across your Unicorn HAT Mini or increase it to get lessof it.
Our while True: loop does several things. Most importantly, it sets the hue bytaking the time (in epoch seconds, no need to worry about what that is),multiplying it by 100 to scale it up a little, and then taking the modulo 360 ofthat result (the remainder after dividing the time x 100).
Then, we have two for loops. The first calculates an offset from the pixelnumber x and our 22.5 degree spacing that we calculated earlier. Thisoffset is added to the hue, the modulo 360 is taken again, and the value isdivided by 360.0 to get a number between 0.0 and 1.0 that will be acceptedby the colorsys.hsv_to_rgb() function. The rather complicated line that beginsr, g, b = is a list comprehension that converts the RGB values returned bycolorsys.hsv_to_rgb(), which are values between 0.0 and 1.0 to RGB valuesbetween 0 and 255.
Try setting the colour of your Unicorn HAT Mini to the currentCheerlights colour, or use yourUnicorn HAT Mini to display your mood on Twitter based upon the sentiment of yourrecent tweets. You could also hook up your Pi to Google Calendar, Zoom or Teams APIs to make a busy light for your office door!
1.As I have a large amount of MP3 files on my PC which are just orchestrations without leading vocals. I have up to now used outprinted versions of the lyrics when I was asked to sing on family or other occasions. So this is my first question:
can Audacity provide the possibility to have the lyrics being linked to the MP3 files (karaoke like) and how can this been done?
MP3 files do not directly support karaoke lyrics, though some media players (such as iTunes and Windows Media Player) can add or import lyrics into the MP3 metadata. iTunes can display lyrics just as a lyric sheet (no automatic scrolling). WMP can display the lyrics with automatic scrolling, but you need to manually synchronise the lyrics to the music.

Wondering how to listen to Spotify while you're busy on your computer? Well, the Spotify Mini Player might be your solution. It lets you control your music without leaving what you're doing, which is perfect for multitasking. Until recently, though, this Mini Player was only on Spotify's website through Google Chrome. But now, good news! Spotify has brought the Mini Player to its desktop app, making things even easier.
The Spotify Mini Player is a handy little window that stays on top of whatever else you're doing on your device. This feature allows easy access to playback controls when you're multitasking. People have been switing for this feature because it means you can keep your favorite music playing while you work, browse the web, or use your computer or phone.
Before, only Spotify's web player had this feature, and mobile users had something similar on their screen. Now, it's available on the desktop app, but there's a catch: it's only for Premium users. But don't worry, free listeners still have some good options. Spotify has finished testing and is rolling it out to everyone, so you don't to keep switching back to the main Spotify window to control your music. Just update your Spotify app, and you're good to go.
Excited to try it out? Make sure you've updated to the latest version, and start the easy control of your favorite music or podcasts with the Mini Player. If you're someone who get used to keep Spotify running in the background while you work. It's super simple to use - just click to play, pause, skip, shuffle, adjust the volume, or add the music to your library. Plus, it's super adaptable - you can resize it to your liking, whether you prefer a square, rectangle, or sleek bar design. And if you need to get back to what you were doing, just close the MiniPlayer - it's as simple as that.
