Today LyriPod has been updated to Public Beta 2. This new Beta release has fix some problems that the first Beta version came with. This new Beta fixes the fs routines (no more nilobjex when clicking ‘find songs’) and more. LyriPod is a program developed in REALbasic which allows you to download lyrics to the songs you have on your iPod.
What’s new in this version:
improved fs routines (no more nilobjex when clicking ‘find songs’)
added column headers in listbox (better sorting)
split lyrics >4k into appropriately sized and linked chunks
added icon and about window
slated as last public beta before 1.0 final
Zach Segal’s future plans for LyriPod are to add pluggable support for multiple online lyrics databases, to add search bar feature akin to itunes, and to more gracefully manage lyrics >4k in size.
This new Beta version doesn’t offer any Mac OS 9 support or does it any fix for the investigate reports of duplicate files(one empty, one normal) on windows formatted ipods.
This new Beta version has added a proper icon. This icon donated by Daniel Hachbold is a lot better looking then the one on the Original Beta version of LyriPod; also in this new Beta version is the about window, and LyriPod is now using the GNU General Public License.

System Requirements: Mac OS X

very cool! works fine so far… I don’t agree with some of the lyric interpretations, but that’s nothing to do with your script…

mvague,
In Purple Haze, Jimmy Hendrix really does say “excuse me while I kiss the sky” instead of your interpretation “excuse me while I kiss this guy”.

well my idea is that mac ipod owners are gonna win. As soon as i clean this up some, it will be released as open source software with the intention of encouraging further development. For instance, right now the program uses one lyrics database, but down the line it’d be nice to have pluggable modules for multiple databases. I have a number of other ideas, but only so much time. Thanks for the feedback everyone, keep it coming.

I still don’t get it. There are many more iPod apps for the Mac then there are for Windows, even though there are more Windows iPod users then there are Mac users…maybe us Mac users are more zealous for our iPods

LyriPod use lyrics.astraweb.com for it source of lyrics you may go there to add lyrics. If you find a mistake in any one of their lyrics you might want to email them (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)). It’s nice to see my name in that article and get mentioned for doing the icon.

Why wouldn’t the program be able to use the Lyrics Tag found in MP3s? The tag is already there.
