Plugins for Media Players
LyricWiki.org is open to its content being used by plugins for media-players. Once the API is more full-featured, that may be very helpful. We would like to see plugins for all major media-players (and of course, minor players too!). If you know how to write a plugin for iTunes, MediaPlayer, etc. Please feel free to chip in.
If you have written a plugin, please add a section here with a description of the plugin and a link to where the plugin can be downloaded, as well as a way for us to contact you to warn you when changes are made.
Although not fully implemented, an alternative to screen scrapping is to use the SOAP Webservice. Currently the SOAP webservice is under construction but you can check if a song exists and you can retrieve the lyrics for it.
XMLyrics (talk)
XMLyrics is the first program to make use of the SOAP webservice. It was written by Cyber Sinh and is available for download here, more information is available here. The program supports French and English. Although it is an external application, once you load it up, you can set it to work with any of several media players. It uses .NET, so you need to install the .NET framework to run it (you may have that installed already). This was developed and tested at the same time as the SOAP in conjunction with LyricWiki, so it works very well.
Supports:
- WinAmp
- foobar2000
- musikCube
- Windows Media Player

Amarok
Amarok LyricWiki.org Lyrics (talk)
A simple script to retrieve lyrics from LyricWiki.org and display them on the Lyric tab of the context browser. Now you can enjoy having lyrics that can be fixed when incorrect!
Note: In version 2.0 and all versions that use the SOAP service instead of screen-scraping do not correctly display special characters. This is a problem with the SOAP service and not a problem in the script. For more details on this, please refer to LyricWiki:SOAP/Ruby.
