Comment-File, Lyrics from Tag [partially completed]

Unread post by Madsonic »

Hi,
there are 2 long time feature requests that did not make it in new subsonic-versions for some time now:

1. Getting lyrics in subsonic is a never ending story because subsonic is getting them online and the changing sources often were offline after some time or changed the api. In many cases this feature shows lyrics for the worng song. There are a lot of users like me who have stored available lyrics in the tag "unsyncedlyrics", but subsonic does not show them.
The requested feature should work like this:
a) Look if there is a tag-field "Unsyncedlyrics" in the song and if yes show it.
b) If not, try to get lyrics from external source and show it

2. I have live recordings that are not splitted in tracks and therefore there is no track listing available in subsonic. In order to show the track-listing in subsonic I write the tracks and some other additional informations as a comment. But if you want to switch to new versions, switch the installation to another PC or just want to rebuild the database from scratch those comments are gone, one reason for me to stick to older versions of subsonic for some time and not to make Madsonic my working environment but only to my test-environment till now.

Therefore I would appreciate it very much if Madsonic would be able to show a file like "comment.txt" as a comment, if there is such a file in the directory.

By the comment "partially completed" you surely refer to the comment-files.

Are you planning to impliment the request for local lyrics as well in the near future?
I have about 40 % of my mp3s filled with unsyncedlyrics and it is a pity that using the lyrics function in madsonic very seldom brings up lyrics at all and very often the wrong ones.
