Publisher's description of Winamp Lyrics

From LIQUID RADIUS:

Simple but effective, this Winamp plug-in finds the lyrics for the MP3 file you're playing (from its tag or from a TXT file) and scrolls it according to the elapsed time, using the current skin. The program also contains a "HitList", which counts how many times you've opened a certain MP3. You can bind any hot key to any action, working from the whole system (not only from Winamp).

This update features bug fixes and adds a built-in text editor and better time-stamp support. See the read-me file for other options.

Editor's review of Winamp Lyrics

3.0 stars
"Lyrical display hits flat note"

This plug-in lets you view song lyrics when using Winamp, but it seems like a less-attractive option than many of its competitors. For starters, Winamp Lyrics only supports the jukebox found in its name, neglecting other popular choices. The application's lyrics pane can be accessed from Winamp's View menu, but strangely enough, if you turn it off, you'll have to restart the jukebox to find it again. Changing the plug-in's preferences also is a hassle, requiring you to dig through Winamp's menu items. Customization options aren't expansive, but you can change the font, color, and format of the displayed lyrics. As soon as you click a tune, Winamp Lyrics will retrieve the words from the Web and either save them as a TXT file or embed them in the MP3. In our tests, performance was decent, though the application failed to retrieve the words to many of the obscure tracks in our collection. Dedicated WinAmp users might find some benefit here, but hard-core music fiends have better options at their disposal.

"TOTAL LIE NOT FREE SHAREWARE"

by bigmike825 on March 13, 2007

Pros: NONE a rip off not free at all 60 day trial shareware

Cons: c-net downloads NEED to monitor their site like they used to when they cared about us ! This is shareware with a 60 day trial simple as that. I uninstalled it even though it did find about 25% of the lyrics I wanted ( NOT A GOOD SCORE I MIGHT ADD!) like has already been said if they lied about this what else did they lie about is there spyware here too ? or whatever??? A RIP OFF and not worth your time try the others that do not lie to you ... Mike

"It would be good if it was free"

by analiv on June 3, 2005

Pros: It's easy to use.

Cons: When I installed it, it said it was free. I took the time to update lots of lyrics into the program so that other users could find them, and after a while they asked me to pay. Maybe I wouldn't have minded that (after all the time I put in the program) but it didn't even tell me how much/how to pay. It is not worth your while! I've heard EvilLyrics is really free... I'd try that one instead!

"Not free!"

by muma on March 31, 2005

Pros: Don't know. Never did try it.

Cons: I installed it and it says it's free for 60 days. I thought free ment free as in free of charge. Free doesn't have a time limit. Either it's free or it's not. Hate liers! So I uninstalled it at once.
