For songs without lyrics in their tag, we could find a lyrics site with a simple API and search by song name

https://developer.musixmatch.com/ - This has potential, but there's a limit of 2000 hits per day on an API key and it doesn't seem ready for wide use yet.

joshbetz commented 12 years ago

It might be a better idea to just use the getLyrics method of the Subsonic API and if there are no lyrics, then don't show any.

working on this now, I'll keep you updated

joshbetz commented 12 years ago

I wasn't going to put this in, but if you want to I would just use the getLyrics method of the API. What I was thinking was if you tap the album art on the now playing screen, another view would show up with a dark transparent background and lyrics that can scroll in that area. Tapping again would then hide the lyrics.

yep was thinking the same thing
