Special thanks to Patrick Simonds for adding some better searching functionality.

Updated for current Songbird Version.

New Translations
Updated to work with current version.

A few extra things added. Gave a little love to the display pane which had been ignored the last few updates!

• Added a button at the top of the display pane to suspend notifications. This is handy if you like the notifications on, but want to run with the player minimized and the notifications keep restoring Songbird. Now instead of switching the preferences, you can suspend notifications. Then when you want notifications you can enable them according to your preference settings.
  
  
• Added the ability to not display the Artist and Track information in the Display pane.
  
  
• Added a right click context menu for the following actions:
  • Copying selected text to the clipboard.
  • Manually refreshing the Display pane. This is helpful if you switch lyrics databases while the song is playing, and want to refresh the pane to show the new servers lyrics.
  • Open the metadata editor.
  • You can now delete a tracks lyrics from the database and the file from the Display pane.
    
    It should be noted that the last 3 actions in the list can only be performed on a playing song. This is to prevent manipulating the lyrics for a song unintentionally.
• Some other random bug fixes.
  
  
• Thanks to Joergen for the da-DK translation!

1.6.1.1 - Removed some partial translations so it doesn't default Songbird back to English as language.

Another Big Update!!

Requires Version 1.0

New with version 1.6 - Added icon to library if the track has lyrics. To set this for an existing library go into the preferences.

• Added an overlay to the Metadata Editor so you can now edit the lyrics that are already saved.
  
• Added a "Fetch" and "Clear" button to the Metadata Editor so you can fetch new lyrics, or clear what is already there.
  
• Added a Help window.
  
• Added the ability to be able to fetch the lyrics for up to 1000 tracks at once!
  
• LyricMaster now shows "Nothing Playing" if nothing is playing when it is first opened, or will right away display the lyrics if a track is playing
  
• Feather developers, You can now specify the style of the Display Pane by including lyricmaster.css into your feather, See the Defining Style section of the new help window for more information.
  

The new current default style is set to [ None ], This tells LyricMaster to use the new HTML.css style so that it can inherit style elements from the current feather. Some Feather developers may still choose to add a lyricmaster.css file that will give them more control over styling than what's inherited. To see if the feather you are using supports lyricmaster.css, choose [Current Feather] from the options menu.

1.5.0.1 removes the YABS style per Atreiu's request.

1.5.1.0 will now save to the ID3 tag and I started to try and localize all text strings to open the door for traslations.

First 3 very big THANK-YOUs!!!

1. To Gege from the MediaMonkey forums. His Lyric and Comment Viewer was the inspiration for LyricMaster, and his HTML and CSS are now used by LyricMaster!
2. To Erich Schroeter, who answered the call for a new Icon for LyricMaster!!! Great Work!!
3. To my buddy Nick, who is a walking, breathing JavaScript book, who could give me some pointers when they were needed!

• Moved to an iFrame to layout, this may introduce a few display problems with special characters, but definitely gives more control over text formatting. (Let me know when these happen and I can try to add provisions to clean them up.)
  
• Full functioning preferences. Now you can tell Lyricmaster if it should grab lyrics from lyricswiki.org or lyricsplugin.com, You can tell it if your library is in format JOHN DOE or DOE, JOHN, You can tell it if it should save your lyrics automatically, prompt to save, or never save, You can turn off No Lyrics notifications, You can tell it not to display the album title, and finally, you can switch stylesheets to find a display that fits your feathers. (Send me your CSS definitions and graphics and I can add them in. lyricmaster.songbird [at] gmail.com)

Updated so it would work with version .8pre

Removed options panel as there was some confusion.

Updated so it will work with .7RC1

Options Panel is not operational yet, but is available to view. Consider it a sneak peak!!!!

Notification error should be fixed!

Now reads/saves from/to the Songbird database!

This will not save out to your files, only the database. If you don't want your files and database out of sync. Please do not hit the YES button when it asks you to save!

Still working on the notification problem! Hopefully will have a fix soon.

Probably won't be able to save to the files until THIS is fixed. If someone knows different. Let me know.

Last big project for me is to build an options panel that will allow you to set if LyricMaster will automatically save the lyrics, or never save lyrics, or prompt you like it now.

Keep the feedback coming!!!!

V 1.1.2 Changed the textbox that displays the lyrics to be dynamic based of user's resolution.

V 1.1.1 Just cleaned up some display problems

Ver 1.1

Finally had some time to work on this a little more.

Added:
Now pulls lyrics from http://www.lyricsplugin.com/
If NO lyrics are found, will give you a button to search the web via Google.

changed to work with .7pre

Ver. 1.0
A Right Sidebar that displays lyrics, nothing else.

Uses Stevels code from mashtape that gathers lyrics (for now).

Pretty simple add-on, but was the one thing I was missing, so I thought I would share my progress thus far.
