Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Leo's lyrics is one of the largest lyrics site available in the web. There are several plugins for winamp and itunes (http://www.leoslyrics.com/winamp.php), and it looks like webpage designer/owner is open to new ones (http://www.leoslyrics.com/mboard.php?boardId=5&id=429638). It would be really nice to have this, since the current lyrics feed isn't too large.
everybody has his favourite, mine is www.lyrix.at
I don't care about favourites, I just want a large and fast lyrics backend. I'm just suggesting one service which provides any help needed to create a plugin.
Would it be possible to have support for all these backends? That is, amaroK goes down a list, and if it doesn't find the lyrics in one of them, it tries the next.
i've written wrapper which uses different lyrics engines in internet and provides output in lyrc compatible way. http://glen.alkohol.ee/lyrics.php and hereby i don't ask you to change to the lyrics.php to url given above, but rather i'd help to get those patterns and parsing i've done in php into amarok. i'm no kde/amarok coder, and it's not in my powers of creating the gui for choosing engines, but i could help adding the new lyrics "engines" to amarok if it does support multiple lyrics website parsing. currently while looking contextbrowser.cpp, then there's static parsing of only lyrc.
