Lyrics Plugin is a free plugin that adds Lyrics in both Windows Media Player and Winamp Player. The plugin works perfectly with Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7. After you have installed the plugin, simply play a song in Windows Media Player and it will show you the lyrics in the Now Playing mode.
I don’t know the source where it takes the lyrics from since the author hasn’t mentioned it anywhere. If the lyrics for a specific song are not found then you can add one yourself, but so far it showed the lyrics of every favorite song that I played.
If you are looking to add lyrics to iTunes, check out LyricToy. Enjoy!

My favourite Lyrics software is Minilyrics, since it displays fully synchronised lyrics. I love its floating window which displays lyrics without ever getting in your way.
The only problem with Minilyrics is that it is slightly buggy.
just some advice for guys with Windows 7 and windows media player (wmp) 12:
close wmp before downloading the plugin. If wmp doesn't open after the plugin downloads, just restart computer or log off and log back in.
works great otherwise. thanks!
dll error in windows 7

For Carlsome, you need to switch to Library Mode, when you open a song, then press Alt key and look for the menu View, then Plug-ins, then watch if the “Lyrics Plugin” is selected, if don't just do it and then switch back to Now playing mode. That's all.
coool! thx a lot!
thanks alot man!!!!!
Yeah thinks a lot W7….thinks for the many karaoké I will do!!
why does windows live messenger show *what i'm listening to* only for the first song? Can you help me?
just change your song and then play again the previous song. it kinda lag. happens to me most of time, but if u see from the others' msn, they will still see the song.

This plug-in just made my day!

click on view, then on plug ins' u'll c there the lyrics plugin. if it has a sign that says thats its in use, click on it and then click on ctrl+1 and do thw same thing again
thanks mate…
it works… awesome steps..!!
i rly like this program, but there is one big problem:sometimes the edit button goes under the play and pause and stop buttons so i cant edit. wat do i do???
Hi,
I have same problem. Do U have had a solution yet?
I resize the window to be so long to pull the Edit button from under the Play button. But if the lyric is too long, I cannot resize the window long enough.
I have a suggestion for the author/programmer: insert several empty lines after the Edit and Configure buttons. It can help.
Hi,
If you want to edit the lyrics, right click the bar and choose show list. The lyrics screen will be minimized, then you can press the Edit, Search Google or Configure. Hope this help =)
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
thank you
every time i close WMP plug-in disables itself automatically….Hope the author releases a new update for it….:/ :/ :/
Thanks guys! it is truly awesome, i love it! i dont really mind switching in library mode, pressing Alt and choose lyrics plugins everytime =)! thx again
Lyrics plugin displayed the song at windows mediaplayer 12 only if I online.
When a played musik other home, and i have no internet, then the site in wmp12 is blanc.
what can i do ??
::It’s fucking awesome…..::
worked well with xp sp3 fantastic plugin however the newly installed win 7 does not support it… got some error message :@
talking about WINAMP indeed
Thanks a lot. Works fine on Windows 7 for me. Tip for lacee … I read somewhere else that it helps if You uninstall and reinstall. My music isn’t middle of the road … but so far the plugin have found every lyric. Thanks again for the very helpful instruction on how to use it.
HI! I’ve got a problem with lyrics plug in in WMP12, Windows 7.
When i try to change the color settings i encounter the following problem: I press the configure button ,I make the changes ,and i click save… but the problem is that no changes are made!!
When i try to configure it again it seems to have saved my preferences but the color in the actual lyrics won’t change… Any solution would be appreciated!
Hi,
On Windows Media Player 12 (Windows 7), after you play a video file, you have to delete and re-install the plug-in to get it to display lyrics again in now playing. Please help!
Problem solved! I just had to run WMP12 in administrative mode and configure it…
I think that most problems will be solved if you run WMP as administrator…
Run programs in administrative mode is not a good idea. I hope the next version can solve this problem….
Yet it works. Had the same problem here. Just did as you said and fixed it. You just have to do it once, and the changes stick for good.
Thanks a lot, Roxas. I would never figure it out, and it bothered me everytime I used the plugin…
=)
Really amazing piece of software and so light on the system too…!
~~kudos~~
By the way, i was wondering if there is any way if those lyrics can be embedded by the software automatically into the mp3 file so that i don’t have to remain connected to the internet for the same song being played…or better still, those embedded lyrics could also be displayed on a portable music player too… woudn’t that be great!
excellent plug-in……. displays lyrics of all songs alryt any language………..(script is the default for your comp)
but can someone tell me how to save the lyrics so that i can use it evn whn offlyn…….
THANK YOU!
Excellent plug-in.
Works for other languages too. (French, Hebrew) fantastic.
Thank you very much.
I have a lot of time using this plugin and it was fantastic, but days ago it started to show me the wrong lyrics. It shows correct artist name and title but the lyrics doesn´t match o_O. I uninstalled and reinstalled and nope. And when I try to edit, appears a blank popup… I don´t know what to do. Hope someone can help me -_- Thanks in advance

Hello from Denmark
I sure hope some one fine a answer to this problem to, because i have been looking at my pc but nope not there, i have been surfing internet like you did no answer to that problem, so i try some other programs but not quite the same….
Is the program just over shop closed or what? If so does anyone know a program to use instead???
(sorry my english is not so good)
That’s too bad i loved my lyrics plugin =(
Please if anyone finds anything about this problem could you let us know.. thank you!
I’ve got a windows 7 & wmp 12 and this plugin works great if mp3 tags are correct (sometimes are numbers before title or artist tags – in windows explorer in windows 7 can we this corrected manually).
I had many these songs with not exactly tags, so I haven’t lyrics. I tried edit but hardly never I can saves lyrics (blank screen) so I was looking for better solutions for lyrics and I downlaoded Winamp 5.5. In winamp 5.5 is builtin option to view lyrics (option: OnlineServices \ MetroLyrics ). This working similary to our plugin in wmp, mp3 tags must exactly match.
I hope this help you.
Thanks for your help
Unfortunately I don´t think its a tag problem because the plugin used to work pretty well for all of us until now. I have win 7 and wmp 12 too, and before I noticed that many people have the same problem, I checked the tags thing… but that´s not the solution -_-
I hate winamp but haha, if this problem doesn´t have a solution in the next future, I think I´ll download it because I really want my lyrics back o_O
Thanx again Pawel
Could you write here example of title and artist that lyrics are wrong? All lyrics are now wrong?
For me, are all wrong =/
And here´s the example:
The Siren by Nightwish
Day after day alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is setting perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he’s just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around.
Well on his way his head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking percetly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill . . .
————-
and the correct lyrics are
A lady with a violin playing to
The seals
Hearken to the sound of calling
Who tied my hands to
The wheel?
The zodiac turns over me
(come to me)
Somewhere there my fate
Revealed
I hear but how will I see…
hmmm when I had changed tags of one mp3 to The Siren and Nightwish I got the correct lyrics. I don’t know why you have wrong:(
I changed the tags too and nope, doesn´t work -_-. The weird thing here is that the plugin used to work perfectly fine weeks ago with all my songs and now, none of them are correct. It could be my problem with a few songs, but no. Plus, now I can read that a lot of people have the same problem… and ahh, sometimes is hilarious to see a sad song with happy lyrics but this is becoming more and more annoying. Anyway, thanks for your help dear *hug*
same problem
It is working right now
but for how long haha… we hope, is there a service mail adres or a website ?
I didn´t see that, but wrong lyrics again. Look at this:
Carry On – Angra
Tak się boję o siebie
Że zostanę sam
O swój psychiczny stan
Tak się boję o siebie
Że zostanę sam
O swój psychiczny stan
o_O
you think thats bad?
heres the lyrics for The Hand That Feeds – Nine Inch Nails
“Sun chiar de treaba,daca ajungi sa ma cunosti bine
Dar nu ai cum sa o faci,deci raman tot un nemernic pentru tine”
all i gotta say is….wow
Look at this:
Concerto en mi mayor, Primavera, opus 8 No. 1, Allegro
Antonio Vivaldi
[Chorus 1]
I don’t want to move too fast, but
Can’t resist your sexy ass
Just spread, spread for me
(I can’t, I can’t wait to get you home)
Don’t want to come on too strong, but
I’ll play in you all day long
Just spread, spread for me
(I can’t, I can’t wait to get you home)
I didn´t know that Vivaldi wrote lyrics for his concerts… quite open mind for his time xD: “Can’t resist your sexy ass” o_O
Yep it’s bad alright…. it was working fine till last week and now its suddenly started giving weird combination of song and its lyrics….i mean come on , for a Japanese song i’m getting French lyrics!! Even for every day songs like those of Beyonce , Enrique or even hindi songs its not working.

St Jimmy – Green Day

pero yo quiero saber de que esta hecho tu corazon yo quiero saber si esta dulce o amargo
dame tu corazon
pequeño como un limon tu dame tu corazon pequeño como un limon
hay mira chikita yo se que te gusta cuando te pones brava chikita la peleita
yo lo siento cuando canta como un escalofrio frio como una cosita que yo no entindo como te lo puedo explicar
a veces siento a veces canto a veces duermo pero a veces muerdo.

pequeño como un limon tu dame tu corazon pequeño como un limon

po por debajo del mantel mujel yo voy a sel franco si tu no me lo das yo te lo arranco , mamita yo no soy manco por las orejas brotando humo como chimenea este tipo por ti se mea
dulcinea las que son feas las torea y las bonitas las bombardea
dame tu corazon
pequeño como un limon tu dame tu corazon pequeño como un limon
damelo dame tu corazon yo quiero saber porque no me lo das
hay tanta gente en tu vida que no se si quepo yo pero es que no quiero entrar yo no te digo nada pero mi guitarra si mi gur¡itarra si

WTF is that?!?
Haha, OMG, I´m sorry RedxD, your song makes me laugh a lot because I think is a reggaeton song or something and its funny. Unfortunately our problem is not. Maybe we will need the help of an expert with this kind of stuff or find another plugin. It´s so weird that on lyricsplugin.com there isn´t a contact email of the creator… so weird…
LOL i haven’t noticed hahaha, well i was looking for others plugins but i didn’t find any that i liked :S
Now it’s working!!! I’m really happy.
is it really working? mine is still not
mine was working just about 7 hours ago now i’ve just checked and it’s not working :S
Nope, not working yet ¬¬
