I found this hint extremely useful, but frustratingly slow. It tells you how to get lyrics automatically added to all tracks in your iTunes Library. However, it uses a script that simply waits a set amount of time (e.g. 30 seconds) while PearLyrics does the real work. PearLyrics might be done in one second or fifteen seconds or more, so it's frustrating to have to wait the whole 30 seconds for your entire library.

So, I wrote the below scripts. They have these improvements:

You can simply add both of them to ~/Libary -> iTunes -> Scripts.
