How to display lyrics of songs?
After a bit of Google researching, I ended up with this article on OMG!Ubuntu. The OSD-Lyrics they suggested works like the way Minilyrics used to work. So, I am delighted.
OSDLyrics can be installed by the following steps:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:osd-lyrics/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install osdlyrics
Why have a separate app for lyrics and not have them within the player? Maybe the external app like osdlyrics has a larger database? In fact it is far from matching Clementine's or that of Foobar2000 addons like Lyric Show Panel 3.
Clementine:
Foobar2000 in Wine/Playonlinux (excellent access to synced lyrics option to save them in tags etc):
DeaDBeeF:
I trust there are other good players to be used for this.
There is also a screenlet lyrics (works great with Banshee), all you need to do is to install Screenlets(widget applications):
Note: Installing software from PPA may pose a security risk.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:screenlets/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install screenlets
And then add Lyrics widget to the desktop.
