Re: [Muine] Idea for a lyrics plugin

[Brian Nickel <brian nickel gmail com>]

If the file is an MP3, it would be nice if we could also check for
lyrics in the ID3 tag. Or, even cooler, though a bit more challenging,
would be to check the ID3 tag for sycned lyrics and highlight the part
of the song which is playing while it plays.

Just my thoughts,
Brian
