It's a pre-release still in development though. Crashed just on clicking file, exit after loading MP3 list into it :) KJ, muikcube is very outdated, but songbird looks promising.

I fixed it so that in firefox it scrolls directly to the first comment. IE is being weird and going to the last comment. I'll ask a friend for help, and see what I can do :) <strong>Hamza</strong>, I hadn't considered Windows Media Player 11 (latest). Which version are you using ? 11 doesn't seem to be able to handle large MP3 playlists (thousands of mp3s). If you right click a file in the WMP11 Library, you can open something called (Advanced Tag Editor), and from there add lyrics. On the lyrics tab there is a (synchronised lyrics) tab. If you click it, it will let you set the the time stamp on each lyrics line. What I haven't figured out yet is how WMP displays the synchronised lyrics while the song is playing since the Library (advanced tag editor) dialog seems to be designed to edit rather than display lyrics. If you find out please let me know. I tried going to (now playing) tab while song was playing, and WMP said I had to turn down my privacy settings (check box to allow WMP to get info from internet about current song), so I did that, and instead of getting info about the song WMP asked me to register to (Urge) and (rhapsody). Some kind of paid music service. This reminds me of apple's itunes software which seems like nothing more than a frontend for their itunes store.

However, I am a windows media player guy. I do all the things you do except the timestamps. I think it takes sooo much time and actually I don't know how to do it in windows media player. kudo points for your effort.

When I click on comments it takes me to the top of the post, I think it would be nice that if I click comments it scrolls down all the way to the comments.

No mood altering drug can match music! I actually checked every free lyrics plugin for winamp, and when I couldn't find one that does everything I wanted. I had started writing my own. Then I decided to check the comercial plugins, and this one had already satisfied all my requirements. The sad thing is that they can barely pay the costs of their lyics server, because 90% of their users are running cracked copies of the software. The software will still work without the lyrics server, because you can manually find and add the lyrics, but it would be a shame. I was previously including the arabic lyrics in transliteration format because there was no software that would support Arabic. The Gods of MP3 rewarded me enough when they created the concept.
