Software :: Script To Download All Lyrics Of MP3 Directory
Jul 29, 2011
I want a script to download all the lyrics to all the mp3s in a directory. Many things turn up with a web search, most of them being plug-in scripts for various music clients. I read this page, which got me started: [URL]. It has been the closest match to that for which I'm looking.Unfortunately it's kinda old. So I looked at the source code of ncmpcpp, a console MPD client that can retrieve lyrics. Here's where I am so far. Running this URL in a web browser: [URL]
Produces this output:
-<LyricsResult>
<artist>Aerosmith</artist>
<song>Amazing</song>
<lyrics>I kept the right ones out
An[...]</lyrics>
<url>http://lyrics.wikia.com/Aerosmith:Amazing</url>
<page_namespace>0</page_namespace>
<page_id>6337</page_id>
<isOnTakedownList>1</isOnTakedownList>
</LyricsResult>
As you can see here in the <lyrics> tag only the first part of the lyrics of the song "Amazing" by Aerosmith show up in the result. I'm wondering at this point why it only shows some and not all of the lyrics. If I can whip this I can proceed with the rest as explained in [URL] to which I referred earlier. I have only a dial up internet connection and it's discouraging to start up the connection just for the lyrics to one or two songs. I've downloaded many already using the lyrics search feature I compiled ncmpcpp with.
I am new to Linux, running Fedora 13. If installing from source, how do I specify the directory into which I want to download the file? I have a Download directory set up in my home directory but nothing ever goes there and I spend all my time searching for the files I just downloaded. I obviously have no idea what I am doing.
The download pages don't provide me with a choice, that I can see. I usually end up doing yum install but then I don't really learn anything from the process.
how to add lyrics to an mp3 tag using eyeD3. I want a CLI program so I can use it in GUIs like Rhythmbox or ipod/creative/etc. Or in a non-GUI console. The eyeD3 man page is pretty short on this:
--lyrics=[LANGUAGE]ESCRIPTION:LYRICS
Add (or remove when LYRICS is "") a comment. Note that the argument value MUST always contain exactly two : char- acters to delimit the fields even when the default language is being used. The DESCRIPTION string is the lyrics title. The optional LANGUAGE string MUST be a three-character ISO 639 language code. The default is "eng" for English.
A tag may not have more than one lyrics frame with the same DESCRIPTION and LANGUAGE values.
Now, when I run eyeD3 --lyrics=eng:these_lyrics:lyrics_file.txt some_file.mp3 it doesn't work. eyeD3 -v
does not show the lyrics. I just started using Rhythmbox and it will download lyrics just fine but I'd like to be able to imbed the lyrics in the mp3 tag so I don't have to do this every time.
Amarok 2 added a lyrics panel. Current version: Amarok 2.2 (kubuntu karmic).I have never been able to get any lyrics to display. Once in awhile, the lyrics panel displays "*/", but that's all I get. I tried very popular songs (e.g. More Than A Feeling - Boston) and even looked it up on lyricwiki and verified that it was there.
I don't want the 'Download' dir in my home. I don't have it in any other computer and there is no problem. But in my Desktop, every time i reboot there is one 'Downloads' dir in my home and I remove it every time (rmdir Downloads). But when I reboot, it is there again! So what is creating my Downloads dir?. I repeat, I have another laptop with the same ubuntu version (10.04) and I don't have this problem.
Not sure exactly when this problem started. I'd say about a month ago but everytime I try to fetch lyrics on ncmpcpp, all it'll do is show me the to [URL]. This is getting really annoying, I tried changing my lyrics database and everything but it still shows just that. My ~/.ncmpcpp/config file:
Code: #################################################### ## this is example configuration file, copy it to ## ## ~/.ncmpcpp/config and set up your preferences ## #################################################### ##### connection settings ##### ## set it in order to make tag editor and renaming files work properly #mpd_host = "localhost" #mpd_port = "6600" # mpd_music_dir = "/home/mrudang/Music" #mpd_connection_timeout = "5" .....
For windows, I've lyrics plugin. Is there such plugin for Ubuntu 10.04? How to use?I had tried Amarok but it always shows connection to server failed while fetching lyrics but it never happens with windows. In windows I can always view the lyrics, why is it so?
I'm trying to download all the data under this directory, using wget: [URL] I would like to achieve this using wget, and from what I've read it should be possible using the --recursive flag. Unfortunately, I've had no luck so far. The only files that get downloaded are robots.txt and index.html (which doesn't actually exist on the server), but wget does not follow any of the links on the directory list. The code I've been using is: Code: wget -r *ttp://gd2.mlb.***/components/game/mlb/year_2010/
I'm trying to execute the command: Uum Update Or other yum installation of samething After a while I obtain always messages saying: Insufficient space in download directory So I understood is a problem with space. I went to my shell and digited the command: df -h but it show there is plenty of space.
I also deleted a lot of space to make room, just to be sure, but nothing different happens. I'm attaching a screenshot to this post.
i m planning to formatting my machine.and backuping everything.is there any way to back up catches lyrics. there are 2000 lyrics. and i cant afford to loose them all. so any thing that i can do about it ?
I was wondering if there were any way of adding or changing where Rhythmbox gets its lyrics from as it never finds lyrics for any of the songs I listen to, making it a rather useless feature.If I recall correctly, Songbird was much better at actually getting hold of lyrics for songs I listen to, so is it possible to switch to whatever site Songbird (possibly a plugin for Songbird rather than it being native) gets its lyrics from? (Also, I just realised I posted this in the wrong section)
I have a CD I want to play on my computer AND see the words. VLC plays it but don't show the words. PyKaroke plays files but won't play a CD. There's gotta be a program that does both.
The lyrics plugin doesn't work in Banshee 1.7.3. It did seem to work in one of the earlier builds but not in any of the recent builds. When I try to activate the lyrics, Banshee says 'waiting for playback to begin'. The lyrics never appear.
This is probably a stupid question, but is there any way to change the location where gphoto2 dumps the photos it downloads from the camera? Right now it just dumps the them in the current directory.
I've looked through the man page and nothing jumps out at me. The only thing I can think of doing is moving the downloaded photos to a new directory via a hook script, but before I go down that route, is there some kind of option I missed?
I am trying to download site using wget :$sudo wget -r -Nc -mk [URL] but it is downloading the contents of all directories and subdirectories under the domain :[URL] (ignoring the 'codejam' directory) so it is downloading from links like : [URL]... i want to restrict the download so that wget command should download only the things under 'codejam' directory
i just uppgraded to Centos 6. Linux 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.i686 on i686. now im getting some troubble whit this file: wget [URL]... i create a downloads directory and download the source file and--
mkdir $HOME/downloads cd $HOME/downloads
But when i try to build courier-authlib whit this comand: #sudo rpmbuild -ta courier-authlib-0.63.0.tar.bz2. I get this:
Recently I was downloading a file from within Firefox when the Internet connection was lost. Where should I look to find the partial file? I want to delete it.
I'm not sure if this is a known issue or not, but I have a strange problem when I scroll through certain applications. For example, whenever I scroll through songbird's lyrics pane or add-ons pane (does not affect the main library pane), the bottom 1/5 scrolls while the top 4/5 stays static. The same applies scrolling up, the top 1/5 scrolls and the rest stays static (the middle never moves either way I scroll).
I've tried using arrow keys to scroll, but it is the same issue. I vaguely remember another app that had this problem (can't think of it at the moment), so I don't think it's a songbird glitch. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution to it?
I installed the banshee-extension-lyrics addon from the repos and it doesn't seem to have any effect on Banshee. I've searched through Banshee's Preferences and the Lyrics option is already checked under the Extensions tab, but it doesn't work.
There is an option for the lyrics to be displayed is in the context pane, but it always says the same thing:
Quote:
Song Name Lyric
[URL]
Powered by LyricsPlugin [URL]
The problem, then, is that although the Lyrics option is available and does something, it doesn't display actual lyrics!
how to import, link, save and display the lyrics of the song being played? I am using VLC for all audio and video files. If VLC does not have this functionality any other media player will do.
