[Muine] Idea for a lyrics plugin



Some hates it and some can't do without it - a Lyrics Plug-in.

While I was on my way home today I thought of a way to implement it.
We tend to think that we'll need a database for it, or at least
connect to one. But why? Here's my suggest:

Under 'Song' menu there'll be a 'Show Lyrics' entry. Choosing it will
open a pretty small window, something like Muine's size (there should
be a GConf key so we can remember the size). This window only need's 2
parts:

1 - The Lyrics - what we're actually doing is displaying (using
Gecko#) Google's "I'm feeling lucky!" for '"%title" "%artist" lyrics'.
This browser thing takes almost all of the window's size. There's no
need for button like "back" or "forward" of course. Nothing at all.

2 - Next Button - under the browser view there'll be a small button,
"Show next found", just-in-case the first result wasn't it. Doesn't
really happen most of the time, but I think we'll need it. It does
what it says - displays the second result on Google's results page for
the query.

3 - Close Button.

Although we could end it all here, I believe the Gecko# thing should
do a bit more than just following Google's result. It should (1)
remove all of the images on the page, and if possible, we'll want to
(2) connect it to a custom CSS (it can be hard-coded into the plugin,
it doesn't quite matters) that we'll help us remove most of the
unneeded parts of the popular lyrics websites.

What you think?

Thanks!
Yo'av.
