Not a bug. The site shut down.

#2 Updated by Jim Turner over 3 years ago

I've found another pretty good lyrics site: genius.com that is easy to search and has a huge lyrics library. To search directly, the generic url is: "https://genius.com/artist-name-song-title-lyrics", and seems to provide lyrics for nearly all streaming songs I've thrown at it.

I hope you don't plan to just let the lyrics plugins die on the vine so to speak. If you wish, I can open up another formal bug/feature request to modify the plugins for that.

Regards,

Jim

Screenscraping genius.com is likely something that will get us DMCA'd. I'd rather not.
