Everyone has a huge collection of music, and sometimes when you really need to learn the lyrics you search on the internet. Why not do that automatically? When you play a song, the lyrics are automatically downloaded and if you want, embedded it into ID3 tag of the track for displaying on your digital audio player.
Windows
MiniLyrics was the first lyrics software I tried, and its still going strong. The software comes in paid and free version. But with a twist. You can use the fully featured free version forever. Benefits of going for the paid version is limited to just removal of the “Buy MiniLyrics” pop-up that runs every time you use it.
MiniLyrics is super fast in finding results, especially if you have tons of Bollywood soundtracks, this is the best Windows lyrics finder. You can adjust the scroll rate to match the song, search for lyrics by other users, rate lyrics, create lyrics and share. MiniLyrics also supports embedding, skin customizations with support for 22 audio players.
As an added bonus, if you own a mobile which runs on Windows, they’ve got a mobile version for it! With plenty of community support for lyrics and a huge database, this is a killer app.
Mac
GimmeSomeTune works similar to MiniLyrics and adds plenty of more features on top of it. At the moment, the developer is in the process of re-writing the software from scratch, but you can still download the last stable release from their website.
GimmeSomeTune is currently in the process of being completely re-written from the ground up.
Be sure to check our blog for further information and updates on the process.
The application is simple enough to use and configuration is just as easy with general options like “Start with iTunes” etc. GimmeSomeTune also features simple playback controls and if you want, it can add Prev, Pause, Next control buttons to the menu bar. Further more, as an icing on the cake some nice additions are present, like:
Fetching album artwork- iChat integration
- last.fm integration
- Apple remote control support
- Work mode
