Lyrics Plugin for winamp

New! Winamp3 support (with the wa2 plugin manager) and ID3V2 support!

Allows displaying lyrics which are included in mp3 file (Lyrics3 Tag) .

When using Lyrics3 tag, the lyrics tag is kept INSIDE the mp3 file, and not on a .txt file as in the other lyrics plugins. The new versions uses a new Lyrics3 tag v2. Lyrics tags can be edited either with the Lyrics Editor or with MP3 Manager 32 - a full database application for managing mp3 files.

Included in the distribution zip are 2 versions - real visualization plugin for Winamp which can be setup and activated from inside winamp, and a standalone exe, which does exactly the same but you can use plugin capability for real visualization. Current version is 1.20.

New in version 1.20 (22 August 2002)

Changed plugin to be a general purpose plugin. This is done so that the Lyrics3 plugin could be used with Winamp3 (using the winamp 2 plugin manager). However, this has a few side effects: 1. plugin is opened automatically - you can't control if it's opened or not. 2. You can't open the plugin by double clicking in winamp.

Added ID3V2 support. Artist, Album and Title as well as Lyrics are extracted from the ID3V2 tag, if Lyrics3 tag is not found. Since I couldn't find any application that can enter Synced Lyrics in ID3V2 (Lyrics with Timestamps) I only extract normal lyrics, and if you put the [mm:ss] tags inside the lyrics text, it should work like it does with Lyrics3 tags. Soon a Lyrics3 editor will be released that can save ID3V2 tags as well.
