Description

Adds a flexible panel with Lyrics to YouTube, Grooveshark, Spotify Web Player, Jango, AccuRadio, Deezer, 8tracks, Rdio, Xbox Music, Google Music, iHeartRadio, Superplayer.fm, Last.fm and other music sites.

This panel can be resized, dragged around and/or closed and contains a search box which allows for looking up *any* lyrics.

A wide range of sources are defined to make sure that you always get the desired lyrics. When the lyrics are incorrect, just click on "Different source" to query the next source. Sources are highly customizable: You can change their order, and even disable them at the preference page.

The preference page is included with the add-on, but can also be found at https://robwu.nl/lyricshere/. This page provides a demo, screenshots and tools to select lyric sources.

(Formerly known as YouTube Lyrics)

Great and useful extension!

I gave 4 stars, because on Youtube it has some little problems on video GUI. But I can it solve by special cursor movements.

REALLY like this for Grooveshark and YouTube. Any chance of adding for Rdio or Slacker?

Great for finding lyrics, but when automatic lyrics are disabled on youtube (haven't tried other sites) the button is also disabled (although on rare occasions it appears unpredictably). Please add the option to always display the button!
