Fetching song lyrics from the ID3v2 lyrics frame
0%
Description
There's already a plugin for retrieving song lyrics from three alternative websites, but there's none for fetching the string from the ID3v2 lyrics frame.
As many should know, Kid3 has a plugin for retrieving lyrics from two websites (makeitpersonal.co and lyrics.wikia.com) and embed it in an audio file, read it and display it locally won't require an Internet connection and will be a little bit faster.
Additionally, the plugin could read the "lyricist" frame when it's available, and "composer" when is not, and display it along with the track name and artist name in the window.

Updated by @Nelson - Hey, just for grins, could you attach a sample audio file here that has the lyrics in this tag, along with a link/info on this "Kid3 plugin" you mentioned, or email me? (I'm curious a/b it)
Thanks,
Jim

I think it doesn't exist a page for the Kid3 embed lyrics plugin, but it not difficult to learn how to use it:
1. right-click in a file (in the files pane).
2. click in "Lyrics" (in the contextual menu).
3. click in "Embed Lyrics".
4. wait Kid3 find the track in makeitpersonal.co or lyrics.wikia.com.
5. click in the close button.
6. save the file.
Check the text fetched clicking in the lyrics frame and then in the edit button. That' it!.
The attached file is "Adaptation" by The Weeknd (downloaded from [[https://soundcloud.com/theweeknd/]]) with the lyrics embeded with Kid3.

@Nelson - Thanks for the example file, I'll take a look at it! However, I have no idea what application / file-manager (I wrote & use my own) you're referring to by "right-click on a file in files pane" since Audacious does not have a "Kid3 plugin", so plz. enlighten me further, as I'd possibly be interested in seeing the code for this plugin.
Regards,
Jim

I was referring to file pane (upper left) in the kid3 window (not Audacious's), you can see some examples here: https://kid3.kde.org/

@Nelson - That's just what I needed, thx!! Now, I think I have it working for you, please send me a simple email (see my profile) so I can reply you all the details for you to review, as this thread is not the ideal place to discuss.
