Save Lyric script request lyric download (from http://lyrc.com.ar) and if succesfull save it into played mp3s directory.

Local Lyrics is a python based amaroK-script requires amaroK 1.4!

I wrote simple wrappers for dcop-calls (using the shell-tool dcop), kdialog and amaroKs script system while writing this script. Use them if you want (its all LGPL) See the .tar.bz2s contense and: http://twoday.tuwien.ac.at/pub/stories/22759/

This lyrics-plugin simply scans a selected folder for textfiles with lyrics. This might be usefull when you have a lot of lyrics stored on your harddisc, but they are not available on lyrc.com.ar or a simmilar service.

Installation:

Open the lyrics-filesystem-x.x.amarokscript.tar.bz2 with amaroKs script managers script install option.

Usage:

Start the script with amaroKs script manager.
Select the directory in which the lyrics are stored.
The filenames of the lyrics have to be:

"artist - title.txt"
or
"title.txt"

Now amaroK will search this folder for lyrics, when there are none in its database for the current track.

Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a server that allows remote access for playing music (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Mod, and wave) and managing playlists.
Music Player Daemon makes a great desktop player with frontend options (Qt, GTK, ncurses, Windows, and Web clients are available). It is also appropriate as a console player that is scriptable, and is especially useful if X is restarted frequently.
A set of rapid development tools for clients are being developed and include a C library, Python module, PHP class, Perl module, and Java Class.
The goals are to be easy to install and use, to have minimal resource requirements, to be stable and flexible, and easy to interface.
MPD is designed around a client/server architecture, where the clients interact with MPD over a network. Thus, running MPD is only half of the equation; to use MPD, you need to install a MPD client:
Web Clients
- phpMp - Web interface written in PHP
- phpMp2 - Another web interface written in PHP
Graphical Clients
- gmpc - Gnome Music Player Client
- kmp - Graphical interface written in Qt
- MPDCon - A GNUstep Graphical interface
- glurp - Graphical interface written in GTK+
- WMmp - Window Maker dockapp
- gtk2mp - Try gmpc first! Graphical interface written in Gtk+
Command Line Clients
- ncmpc - ncurses (command line) client
- mpc - (Scriptable) command line client
- bashmp - client written as bash aliases and functions
Miscellaneous Clients
- mpcstick - Linux joystick client
- arthist - Perl client to generate a web blog of MPD activity

Music Applet is a small, simple GNOME panel applet that lets you control Rhythmboxs playback from a panel.
Advantages that this applet has over using the icon Rhythmbox puts in the notification area include:
- One-click access to the main operations needed during playback, without needing to use a context menu.
- Display of the current playing time without requiring a mouse-over.
- Display of the current songs album in the song information.
Music Applet currently supports the following music players:
- Banshee
- Rhythmbox
Music Applet is the successor to Rhythmbox Applet.

PHP music player controller (PMPC) is a script that allows navigation through your music directory, and the adding of albums or single songs into a playlist. The project also allows you to play, stop, pause, and go back and forth through the playlist.
Apache needs to run as the same user that is running the music players. In other words, it probably needs to run as whatever your username is. This is a setting in /etc/httpd.conf . So, dont run this on a machine thats visible to the web, or make a user with really strict rules applying to them - so they cant run anything but an x session, desktop environment, and the music player, and cant touch much of anything but their home files.
I guess Id serve the pages out of the users home directory if I was doing that.
If you know a better way to get this to work, please let me know. I dont profess to be an apache-configuration guru, and for all I know this method is really just dumb.
If youre running apache as yourself, youll need to change the session.save_path variable in your php.ini to something that you have write access to, or chmod the directory its currently using.
PS: If amarok or xmms was working fine for you before, let me know. Ill have a chance to test them, and code the support for them here in the next couple of days.
Enhancements:
- Huge improvements were made.
- The appearance of the player interface was improved.
- Amarok is now supported.
- Directories with hyphens in their names should play correctly now.

Lyriki-Lyrics used to be a lyrics plugin to interface with lyriki.com. Its been now completely rewritten and extended to form a collection of lyric scripts. Whats interesting about these scripts is that they query the other scripts when they cant provide the lyrics for a song.

Support for other sites its also pretty trivial to add (only a few methods have to be implemented) and ill be porting all the existing plugins in not much time. Check out the code if you want to help.

Also included theres a special plugin, Lyriki Submit, which can add missing lyrics to Lyriki.com (a Lyriki account is needed to use it). If you dont want to submit lyrics you can still use the simple Lyriki script (it will still take care of querying the other scripts when needed).
