 Replying to [comment:1 paulh]:
 > I'm just wondering how many people have lyrics in there mp3s? I know I
 don't have any so have no way to test this. What tool did you use to get
 the lyrics?

 It seems Linux is behind on adding/editing/displaying lyrics.  So far I
 haven't found any Linux applications that do anything with lyrics (but I
 admit I have not looked hard since I am content with MythMusic for now).
 On Windows most all players have some lyrics support.  Windows Media
 Player allows you to manually add lyrics (both synchronized and
 unsynchronized).  Winamp has lyrics plugins as well.  Most all mp3 tag
 editors for Windows support editing lyrics.

 The Windows tool I use to automatically grab lyrics (and album art) is
 Zortam Mp3 Media Studio (http://www.zortam.com).  I believe it has a free
 trial is anyone wants to try it out.

 > I think if this could be adapted to search the net and download the
 lyrics if they are not stored in the file then it would be of use to far
 more people.

 The Zortam tool supports automatically downloading lyrics (and cover art)
 but I think it has its own database.  There are certainly plenty of lyrics
 sites available so I suppose some could be scraped.  I can look into that
 and also try harder to find a lyrics displaying Linux app.
