Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] rhythmbox-devel Digest, Vol 47, Issue 8

[Steph <orkerone gmail com>]

My mistake, hadn't seen the LyricWiki option. Still, don't you think lyrics are still too 'hard' to reach ?

By the way, another question I had about Rhythmbox, is there a feature planned to reach information on the Artist/Album and complete Id3 tags with it ? This is the only thing I miss from Windows Media Player 11.

Thanks, 

Steph.

I hadn't realised that astraweb had gone away. I've disabled the
astraweb lyrics search in svn (who knows, maybe it'll come back
somewhere else?). I've also re-enabled the leoslyrics.com search since
that seems to be working again.

I don't know what that is, but it's nothing to do with rhythmbox. The
rhythmbox lyrics plugin lives inside the rhythmbox source tree.

The lyrics plugin has searched lyricwiki.org since the 0.11.3 release.
