Title: Retrieving song lyrics directly into a file automatically.... can it be done?
Post by: unclet on March 27, 2007, 11:16:00 am

I have a lot of music files and would like to download the corresponding lyrics for each song track.   Is there some program which will search the web to obtain this information for me if I provide each song track name?

I would like to provide a list of artistName/songtrack information and have an application go out and get the lyrics for me and place the contents in a file on my harddrive.

Basically, I do not want to search for each song one by one.   

Is there anything which does this?

I'm not sure if this will do what you want, but it does a great job of displaying lyrics in wmp for just about every song I've thrown at it.  Maybe worth a look.

I am not looking for an application to obtain the lyrics when the song is being played since I will not be connected to the internet when the song is being played.   I need individual song text files to exist prior to playing any songs.

I know of software which will go get the lyrics for me if I enter the artist and song track name.  I just do not want to do this individually for all my songs. 

I am looking for an application which will take a file as input which includes many artist/song tracks.  The application would then get the lyrics for each song track one and store the lyrics text in a file on my harddrive.

Does anyone know of any software which will do this?
