Hello,
all my mp3s have lyrics I would lik to check when the music is playing back.
Is there a way to show them?

Thanks.

What type of lyrics (storage)? There are three different plugins for lyrics - have you tried these? Support is varied - see some of these issues.

In particular (as I'm guessing you're using tag-based lyrics):

If you have ideas / requests for improvements, please comment on Github.
Thanks

Don't really know.
They are embedded in the tagID3v2.
I can see them in iTunes and Clementine.
Just activated the plugin "View lyrics" with no luck.

Thanks.

Hello,
just to be sure, I decided to re-fill the tag again using LyricsFinder to all my library. I can see lyrics in iTunes and Clementine.
Then rebuilt and rescanned my library in Quodlibet, but definitely they are not showing up in the "view lyrics" window.

I guess two things:
1. a bug in Quodlibet.
2. Quodlibet need a different tag for lyrics. In that case would be possbile to add the function to fill the missing lyrics, seraching online, like LyricsFinder do?

Thanks.
Emanuele
