Lyrics database #692

Closed ConnyTheNerd closed 3 years ago

ConnyTheNerd commented 3 years ago

Hi developers and thank you for that great work!

What I would like to know - where or from which databases are the lyrics fetched? I often encounter songs which are international famous oldies and there is no lyrics available which I find a bit peculiar. Is there a way to determine the source (perhaps even more sources would be nice) of the lyrics database?

jiri-janousek commented 3 years ago

Hello @ConnyTheNerd. We fetch lyrics from http://www.azlyrics.com/ and https://gecimi.com/. It is possible to add another source though.

ConnyTheNerd commented 3 years ago

Hi @fenryxo,

that sounds good! But I assume it is not me who can add an additional source - but you the developers? Or is there a way I could do that myself?

jiri-janousek commented 3 years ago

Yes, only developers can do that because the way the lyrics are extracted from the databases is always different.

jiri-janousek commented 3 years ago

Do you have in mind any source we could add? I know Lyrics Wiki, but it's been shut down :-(

ConnyTheNerd commented 3 years ago

Well, LetsSingIt.com, QuickLyrics and Musixmatch and/or lyrics finder from gnome extension for example? What would also be nice is if I could choose myself ... Since for example "German" texts can only seldom be found.

And thank you again for your attention and efforts!

I've created tickets #698 #699 #700. Which lyrics finder gnome extension do you have in mind?

ConnyTheNerd commented 3 years ago

Here is the URL: http://github.com/TheWeirdDev/lyrics-finder-gnome-ext So actually to which database this is referring to I could not detect.

jiri-janousek commented 3 years ago

I've created #701 for that. That's all from this ticket I guess.
