Free not ready to make nice lyrics software for linux

Read Local Lyrics is a little Python script works as a lyrics plugin.

If to some audio file, a corresponding ".txt" file can be found in the same folder, this is taken as the lyrics of the song.

jamendAmarokLyrics is a lyrics plugin for Amarok that can fetch Lyrics from http://jamendo.com, where there is plenty of free creative commons music!

This is my first amaroKs plugin that fetch lyrics from the amazing letras.mus.brs database. Its quite simple and can (no doubt) be improved.

Terra Letras (lyrics plugin) also store displayed lyrics in your homedir so that you can sing along even offline.

To stop fetching lyrics only in brazilian portuguese you have to change the default value of the "locale" variable in the very begining of the shell script.

Its not possible to configure it using a GUI, for now.

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.
