Compatibility seems to have been of utmost importance to the developers of the software. AutoLyrix is able to detect songs in dozen of music players including Winamp, iTunes, Windows Media Player, Last.fm, XMPlay, AIMP2, Screamer Radio and provides a way to make it compatible with practically any player that is not supported.

The software will automatically search the Internet for information about the current song and display the album art and lyrics in two independent windows. It is possible to refine the search if the first hit did not display the correct items. It can happen that the lyrics are not the only information displayed as the software uses an auto parser to parse the contents.

This can be fixed easily however by simply removing the unnecessary information. Results can be saved so that only those information will be displayed the next time the song is being played on the computer system.

The program can also be configured to look in mp3 and playlists for album art and lyrics before searching the Internet for those information. There is naturally also a way to save the discovered album art and lyrics to the music to make it permanently available.

It does not really matter if you are looking for the latest Billboard charts videos or videos from the Seventies, they are all available on Youtube. One thing that is missing though are lyrics for those music videos. While some uploaders add the lyrics in the description most do not add them.

Youtube Lyrics changes that. It’s a Greasemonkey script that adds a lyric element to each Youtube video. A container Lyrics will be displayed beneath the Video description and will show the lyrics of that music video if expanded. The title of the video should at least contain the song title of the song.

A drop down menu provides access to different lyrics databases on the Internet and you can try to find the lyrics in the other databases if the default one does not reveal any results.

You need the Firefox Greasemonkey extension and the Userscript that adds the Lyrics to Youtube. [found at GOS]
