last week i was thinking about a lyrics plugin about muine and was
going to suggest it here because i'm no coder just a user and
translator.
i'm not sure if i got you right but you're suggesting that for each
song no matter if it has been played you'll need internet connection
and everytime when a song is played to use google. i don't think
that's very convenient. the databes method is surer. a little database
just like the db of the covers where a lyric is linked with a song
title and performer.
something along those lines..
however saying that i'm having in mind that i have no idea how this is
going to be implemented into muine's interface.
