Compiler:          gcc

I wish I could fetch lyrics automatically for a song that is not now playing from the lyrics tab of the "Track Details" page.

I have tried version 2.1.
All my lyrics are saved in the lyrics tab of the "Track Details",
but are not shown in the panel.
This is very weird.

Still, AmaroK series 2 needs a script to read and save id3 tags installed by default.
Despite AmaroK not responsible for scripting the least that should be installed
by default because not everyone has internet at home and there are specific
cases for other types of music.
Please consider this.
Thanks.

I would love to have that feature in Amarok plus the ability to save automatically lyrics to the id3 tag when they are fetched from one of the various lyric sites. Are there any plans to do so? :)

proof of amarok not showing lyrics

i did so. the confirmation was done automatically by bugzilla.

and btw, for the brave person implementing the wish: please remember that there can be several lyrics fields in the tag, in different languages (as can be seen on the screenshot). please don't follow itunes way of showing only one of them.
