Display Scrolling Lyrics with LrcShow-X in Amarok

The lyrics display widget inside Amarok is great, but it has several weakness:

  • No local storage for the lyrics, everytime a song is played, it needs to search online and fetch the lyrics.
  • The lyrics is static, so that you need to search for the lines if you are not following the song from the beginning.

LrcShow-X is a program that i found recently that will overcome those weaknesses mention above. It will scroll and highlight currently playing line and it can store and fetch the lyrics locally.

Install

It is very to install, follow this steps:

  1. Download the compressed LrcShow-X binaries here
  2. Extract them into any directory ( which i recommend extract it into your home directory )
  3. Download the LrcShow-X Amarok script here
  4. Go to "Tools->Script Manager" in Amarok and click "Install Script"
  5. Point to the file "103180-lrcShow-X_starter.amarokscript.tar.gz", You would be prompt for the folder you extracted the LrcShow-X binaries.
  6. You would be prompt to restart Amarok once it is successfully installed
  7. After restarting into Amarok, go to "Tools-> Script Manager" again and enable lrc-ShowX starter". You would be asked to select the folder you extracted the file in Step 2.
  8. All you have to do after this is enable it by clicking "Tools->Script Manager->Enable lrcShow-X". You could always enable or disable it by toggling it here.

Torrent Relay (TorRelay.com) is impressive. It is a coleeptlmy SERVER-SIDE P2P client. 100% online, as they promise. The only problem is 800 MB limit for free users. That's not so bad for some people, but very bad for others.BitLet.org, FilesWire.com: Both are Client-side, meaning the torrent download still happens in your computer. On the other hand, TorRelay does its torrent downloads in it's own server. Once complete, you simply download the file like a normal download.Fusteeno.com seems to be similar to TorRelay.com as it claims to be server-side. But I cannot find more information in the website. For now I will stick with TorRelay. In fact a file is being downloaded as we speak.

this is a better lrcShow-X starter, since it could auto launch or shut down with amarok2
