This is a request for an enhancement to the message string passed to lyrics script. Right now it passes commands like configure/fetchLyrics/fetchLyricsByUrl with artist and title only. Need more like 'Album', 'Genre', 'Composer' etc - infact all the tags if possible. It would be better to send them by parameter=value pairs after the command to take care of empty values (right now e.g. title is send as first parameter if artist is not present). Why do we want this: so that the scripts can fetch lyrics from alternate sites from many possible based on specific parameter values. Here is an example. I have a script called iTRANS Amarok Script @ http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=50890 which displays scripts in non-romanised font. Well I want this to be called only when say the genre='Hindi....' and call lyrc for other genre. But why genre=..., because some sites have romanised version of the same lyrics too, which I want to be called when genre!='Hindi...' I will work on it to see if I can come up with something. 498008 1 swapan 2007-01-04 03:28:43 +0000 Found a workaround for this using dcop call to get the tags of the currently playing song. 498009 2 aoliveira 2007-01-04 03:35:01 +0000 Since artist/title is enough for most of the scripts, I'll leave dcop as the official option for the exceptions.
