LyricWiki.api is no more

[miskie]

Hi,

One of the things I use GameEX for alot is the jukebox functions, and I am also quite fond of the lyric fetching feature that was built into it, using the LyricWiki API - Sadly, it seems due to licensing issues, the API is mostly useless in its current form. Are there any substitutes on the horizon ?

Hi,

This is the first Ive heard of it, so there is nothing on the horizon at the moment. Im not sure if there are any other alternatives.

I have found an alternative, that I would think would be a real easy GameEx implementation...

http://www.lyricsplugin.com

The site generates a webpage containing lyrics to a song via this format..

http://www.lyricsplugin.com/wmplayer03/plugin/?artist=[ARTIST]&title=[TITLE]

The page output is straightforward HTML. Ive fed it a variety of song titles and artists and it seems to have a very complete database. When it cant find a result, it outputs only the title and artist as entered into the URL.

Thanks.
