Free settings lyrics software for linux

jSettings package is meant to provide a Java library for dealing with program settings. (I use "settings" as just another synonym for preferences, properties, etc but I chose the word settings because of the already existing Preferences and Properties frameworks in Java). It wants to be a powerful tool for the developers of Java programs that want to manipulate structures of settings.
The code (as well as this page) is at an early development and testing stage. On top of that, I am only doing it as a means to teach myself Java (Im an economist by training and by profession) , so even at later stages you can expect the quality of the code to be quite low.
If you feel like any part of the design, code, Javadoc, examples etc is silly please dont hesitate to let me know about it. Also, I would also be happy to include requested features as long as I can understand the need for them and I also know how to do it. So please write to me if you have anything to say about this project!
Main features:
- Handles INI and FSTAB type of files and settings. There is no XML support yet, but I plan to do it if it seems to be requested.
- INI settings are specified by a setting = value pair.
- FSTAB settings are defined by an array of settings, each in a predefined field. I call them like this because the structure is similar to the fstab file in UNIX environments. Logical structure is quite similar to that of XML files.
- Settings can be logically structured into sections.
- There are two degrees of hierarchy available, called hierarchical and non-hierarchical. For example, in a hierarchical organization, the settings in a file called settings.ini, containing the following lines:
[section1]
setting1=value1
[[section1-2]] //Notice the double brackets
setting1-2=value1-2
would be refered to as
settings:section1:setting1
and
settings:section1:section1-2:setting1-2
In a non-hierarchical structure they would be
settings:section1:setting1
and
settings:section1-2:setting1-2 (section1-2 is not a child of section1 anymore).
- Loads settings from external files, either from individual files in ASCII format or from archives containing several settings files.
- Includes support for default values for settings, both for ini and fstab settings.
- The advantage is that the actual ini and fstab files will only contain the deviations from the defaults.
- Includes support for system-wide and user-specific settings, for multi-user environments.
- A program would first load the defaults, then the system-wide settings and then the user-specific ones. Also when modifying the settings, there is a choice between doing it at user and at system level.
- Support for adding/modifying/deleting settings.
- Default support for validating the settings.
- Each ini-type setting and each fstab-type field have a validation rule in the form of a regular expression. When loading the value for that setting/field, it is being checked against the rule and only accepted if it confirms to the rule. Of course, if the user wants it she can have .* as the rule for each setting.
- Support for flushing the changes made to the settings to the external files.
- Extensive logging/debug messages.

editLyrics is an amarok script add, modify and edit lyrics. Just click on a track, and select "edit this lyric!" to get a full power editor!

If lyrics are already cached, you can modify it, or you can just write from zero (well, not exactly from zero, you will find the artist and trackname on the top).

Jamendo Lyrics is a lyrics script for Amarok audio player accessing the lyrics database for Jamendo.com music.

The SingIt Lyric Displayer is an XMMS plugin which displays formatted lyrics, including id3v2xx lyrics.
SingIt Lyric Displayer consists of the displayer and an integrated editor which allows one to easily insert time stamps, edit the text, and export & strip HTML.
Enhancements:
- The focus of this release is the revamped query interface (GUI and backend).
- It is finally based on plugins, and this release includes three usable plugins: Lyrc (lyrc.com.ar), Leos Lyrics (www.leoslyrics.com), and Lyrix v2 DB (lyrixdb.org).
- Nothing else of note was done.

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.

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.

gnome-settings-visualeffects allows the control of the xcompmgr composite manager, it provides the user with control of the shadow radius,opacity,offsets and colour, and the speed of fades and where they are applied.
Main features:
- Splitting shadow configuration into active and inactive windows
- Adding a path locator and version checker for xcompmgr/transset
- Incorporating window translucency (decided on a minimum of 25%)
- Window translucency can be added to active/inactive windows by single windows or window types i.e. File Chooser, applications or application children, and Im hoping that I can make this persistent.
- Increase compatibility with gdesklets
- Propose to luminocity developers a configuration standard for these types of settings, therefore improving the future of the project.
- Incorporate code from xcompmgr/transset to reduce reliance on what are intended to be demos rather than real life tools.
- Notification area tool/Panel applet for accessing effects quickly.

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.
