Revised script
Authored by: Safar on Aug 12, '03 09:01:04AM

I improved this script given ... here are the improvements of my script:

  1. it saves on your hard drive the lyrics
  2. it shows the lyrics at once if they have already been saved
Here is how to install it:
  1. Download the script
  2. open Script Editor (found in Applications -> Applescript)
  3. in the code, change Lyrics_dest : "OS_X:paroles" to an existing folder where you want your lyrics to be saved (on my computer, i used the folder "paroles" of the disk "OS_X" -- paroles means lyrics in French)
  4. save the result in ~/Library -> iTunes -> Scripts and give it the name you want
Here is how to use it:
  1. play the song whose lyrics you want to get
  2. launch the script from the sript menu (see this link from Apple if you don't know how to use the script menu).
  3. Safari should display a page with the Lyrics. If it does not, then forget about saving the lyrics. If it does, you have nine seconds to select the lyrics (this can be set modifying delay_time_to_select).
  4. you're done!
I hope some will find it as useful as i do!
