This is a lyrics displayer for XMMS. It uses lyrics files that
are compatibile with Winamp's Kuo's Lyrics Visualization Plugin by
Kuo Shiang-shiang.

Since I got a few emails from people who didn't know how to use it, here
is a short usage info.

Obviously to use this plugin you'll need lyrics :-) (a plugin that doesn't
need it is rather impossible to write...). Some lyrics can be obtained from
my home page, or from other sites (there are many of them, since under
Windows lyrics plugins are quite popular (there are a few of them)).
When you will finally have the lyrics on your disk, you'll have to rename
names of some of them, the idea is simple, lyrics filename must be the same as
mp3 (or whatever else) filename except the extension, the lyrics file must have
"txt" extension. For example mp3 called "Beverly Craven - Promise Me.mp3"
should have lyrics written in file "Beverly Craven - Promise Me.txt".

Now it's time to configure the plugin. Run XMMS select plugin from the
list, and click on "Configure" button, then select your favourite
colors, lyrics path and font. Now simply play some songs and the
plugin's window should open with correct lyrics.

If you want to use lyrics creator, then open it's window and load
untagged lyrics, then click play in the XMMS window and use space
to tag lines in the creator. When you finish use "Save" button to
save lyrics, and that is all. Next time you'll play the song the lyrics
should be loaded automatically.
