AutoLyrix

The open-source Lyric, AlbumArt and SyncLyric searcher

Version 0.6.0 is out!



AutoLyrix was designed to download Lyrics, AlbumArt (artwork) and SyncLyric (LRC files) automatically. It is an open-source solution to EvilLyrics. Saved lyrics from EvilLyrics can be used by AutoLyrix. AutoLyrix is simple: run AutoLyrix and it will find the player running (if the player is supported), get the current song from it and download the lyric and albumart for you. AutoLyrix uses Google to search (Lyrics and AlbumArt)...
AutoLyrix has its own library, so you can submit AlbumArt, Lyrics and SyncLyrics so other users can get the right content for whatever they are listening to!
At some point (with your help), AutoLyrix will have a huge library and the responses/searches will be very precise!
You can help AutoLyrix! Be part of this community!

  • Check the ChangeLog!!!
AutoLyrix is a open-source solution. You can help the development or just write new filters to improve the downloads. Filters are very simple to create, they are XML files. (I need some documentation on it, anyone would like to help?) If you plan to use the code or fork the project, please let me know.
I need help to translate AutoLyrix, a fancier website, documentation, development, etc.

Future versions:
  • Support Skins
  • Support MacOS with iTunes (I don't have a Mac! Please if you can, help me debug and make the Applescripts work)
