Lyric plugin for Winamp

Lately I have lost interest in Japanese song and it make me wonder why as Japanese song that i have isn't bad, in fact its better than English song. Then I found lyric plugin for winamp that automatically search the lyric for the song played. Thanks to it, I can now understand the song better and my interest returned. Download it for free here

For Vista and Window 7 user u may need to change file name or your winamp will crash. Its located at Winamp\Plugins and originally named Gen_LeosLyrics.dll. You will need to change it to Gen_LeosLyrics1.dll and problem solved. I wonder why this problem happen as the solution is easy(and funny)













Of course u need to be connected to the internet as the plugin search for the lyric in the internet and if they found more than 1 it will be listed for you for manual selection.Lets say you dont like lyric from lyric.com, then you can select lyric from another site in the list.














After you select the right lyric for the song, the lyric will appear
















For English and Malay Rock Kapak listener you are lucky. It will automatically select the best lyric according to other plugin user's preference. For Japanese song listener, u need to select the lyric by yourself but its just for the first time as your preferred lyric will automatically selected for the next time its played.

OR

There is 1 more plugin that will automatically search for the lyric named lyricsplugin. Download it at http://lyricsplugin.com/ . Its simpler and if there is no lyric for the song, u can contribute by making it yourself, and it will be shared by other user in case they are listening to the same song as u will be saving it at their database. This feature is what Leo lack in his plugin. So be active. Contribute. Its not difficult, just find on google then click edit link at the end of the lyric in lyricplugin

Oh,1 more good lyric plugin. Mini lyric .Download keygen(bundled with Winamp installer) here or here.. Make sure u turn off antivirus auto-protect first before extracting the keygen. its best for karaoke. its also online. U can still karaoke while typing ur work

I hope this plugins will be helpful, either to memorize or to understand the lyric(as for me sometime i cant understand what exactly that they said in the song, even its malay),or to help u get back your interest in Japanese song lol





Status: Still researching so this post is relied heavily on hypothesis, cannot be declared as fact yet, the edited post below show latest result n data of the research. Comment and know-how r welcomed

Edited: After some tried and error, i found that lyricsplugin has wider collection of lyric compared to leoslyric that relied heavily to his own site. If no one post that lyric on his site(leoslyric), most likely u wont find it on the list. Even if u submit the lyric to him, u need his approval that most likely takes 2 weeks to be approved.

But its still not confirmed wheres the lyric source of lyricsplugin. Maybe comes from whole www and contribution from user.
but if u listen to malay song, need no worry as until now both plugin serve well. Its just if u wann listen to Jap song, switch to lyricsplugin. For me i install both plugin so i can switch anytime. Remember to turn off LeosLyric autostart at 'about' tab -> setting
