In Response To: Lyrics Support (Bart Dring)

>>
I am curious how you did the lyrics support.

I understand you are using the www.lyrics.ch database. Are there ways to access the database other than

the http protocol that a standard web browser uses? I could write a program to use http, but I would have

to parse the returned information that contains lots of HTML (that could change) to find the ID number.

That's basically what I did.

>>
Are there any FAQs related to this.
<<

Not that I know of.

>>

Also, do you know their position on accessing the database without a graphical browser (don’t see the ad

banners)? Do they encourage / discourage this.
<<

I have to admit: I didn't ask ;) I would assume that it is discouraged. I hope to add an upload feature soon, so at least the CDJ users will be able to contribute to the database.

>>

If you don’t want to give away any tricks you spent a lot of time figuring out I’ll understand.
<<

Nothing to give away really - it isn't too hard to do.
