caffeine Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hi there,I am a DoubleTwist user who purchased Poweramp mostly because of the lyrics and EQ features and had some questions about lyrics. I recently converted from iPhone to an Android, so please bare with me.Most of my songs have lyrics in the mp3 tags. It looks like to display lyrics, I need to:1. Play the song and make sure the album art screen is showing (not the playlist view).2. Press the "context key" to bring up the menu (sorry, new Android user; I don't know what the button names are)3. Click "More".4. Click "Lyrics".This is really an involved process when all I want to do is see the lyrics embedded in the file! Is there not an easier way to view lyrics than a 4 step process?Secondly, the FAQ on this site says that lyrics are also supported via plugin, but it doesn't say which plugin. What plugin should I get?Lastly, are there any plans to make lyric viewing easier than this?Thanks!Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tones2 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Download version 1.4 from this site (go to the download page). It handles embedded lyrics MUCH better than the current version 2.06. It auto loads them over the album art in the player, like the iPhone does. The music selection screens are harded to get at though, but it's worth the trade off to me.

@Poweramp2 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yeah the older version is more lyrics-friendly... but so will be the next version, so it's all based on what you want to do. Wait or go back to the older version with better lyric support and not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tones2 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Will the next version's lyrics scroll over the album art within the play window like in 1.4? If so (and that would be AWESOME), when is the next version due to be released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Poweramp2 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 There is no ETA for the 3.0 update yet... Sorry, but it'll be quite the fun update for us and you too I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droidbaby68 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Download musiXmatch player via Google Play. The plugin you need is within that app and Poweramp will launch that app to view lyrics. I'm hoping that Poweramp takes advantage of the lyrics api that musiXmatch has made available to developers and puts in their next update. Seems silly to download the whole musiXmatch app when all I need is the plugin. Also, when all else fails, there's TuneWiki lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andraspal Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 .... Seems silly to download the whole musiXmatch app when all I need is the plugin....Exactly, lol! Musixmatch is actually another musicplayer.Is it difficult to implement sending a search string -taken from tag info- to some lyrics sites?
