Features

The LyricsFinder looks for lyrics in public lyric web services. Lookup is done for all - or just one at a time - of the current songs in the "Playing Now" list in the JRiver Media Center.

The LyricsFinder can be used as a standalone program and/or as a plug-in for the JRiver Media Center.

Features:

  • Automatic search for lyrics in several public lyrics services.
  • Automatic update of the lyrics tags of the current Media Center playlist music files.
  • Manual search for lyrics from the lyrics services for a single playlist song at a time.
  • Lyric editor with search/replace, undo/redo, spell checking and several formatting functions.
  • Media Center playback control from the Lyrics Finder, also in the lyric editor.
  • Selection of the public lyrics services to be used and the order in which they are called during search.
  • Installation as a JRiver Media Center plugin and/or standalone lyrics finder with connection to a running local or remote Media Center service.
  • Uses the JRiver Media Center REST Web service (MCWS), thus allowing the LyricsFinder standalone program and the Media Center to be on different machines.
