Have you ever wanted to read the lyric along with the song you’ve chosen to play with your media player?
I personally use MiniLyrics by Crinsoft for the purpose. The reasons why I’ve chosen (not endorsed) the software are:
1) Easy to install and use
2) Never ending trials (*the only drawback is the reminder that appear once early in the lyric window each time the song is started to be played, but considering the time it saved me from not going to lyric sites, 1:1)
3) Compatible with major media players (Realplayers, Winamp, WMP, etc)
4) Huge lyrics database that consists lyrics of both local and international (English) songs
5) Smooth synchronization between lyrics and songs
So what I did was equipping Itunes player installed on my Vista-based computer with the program. You just need to download it from the homepage, read the simple instruction provided, install the software, and get it running. (Should be done within few minutes).
*Don’t forget to allow the software to connect to the internet if you’re using a firewall program.

Can I do the same thing if I have XP?
April 9th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Or more aptly, what should I do when I use the XP? Sorry about that.

I should have pointed to the download page earlier. http://www.crintsoft.com/dl.htm
-As it states, MiniLyrics for Windows Desktop is compatible with Windows 98, Me, 2000, 2003, XP, and Vista.

wow, nice site ranking fuad.. your blog is newer than mine but still… i’m impressed..
any tips for me?
April 9th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Frankly speaking, when I listen to music I just listen and enjoy I hardly about think about the lyrics the song has. But this software should be helpful for guys who would like to know the exact lyrics of the song too.
April 9th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
I love the idea of being able to see the lyrics while i listen to the song! Thanks so much for the information.
April 10th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Thanks for the prompt response Fuad.

I’m with Eva on this one, not really interested in the lyrics but it sounds like great software for anyone that is.
April 13th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Thats a good feature found … i listen to songs a lot and sometimes do not understand the lyrics … but now this will make more easier for me :p
Thanx

Hmm… good advice. I never thought I would equip itunes on my Vista. (not a fan of vista.) Thanks!

This is not really a comment, more a plea for help; what is the .rar extension? and how do you play it? Help?
April 18th, 2008 at 8:11 am
Nicole – a .rar is like a zip file. The contents have been compressed. You can use Winrar to extract that file. Its free.
April 22nd, 2008 at 9:54 am
Thanks so much for that!

Where are you Fuad? I miss your posts.
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:54 am
I have always used Audacity – it may not be extremely user friendly but it is a very powerful software.
April 23rd, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Hi, long time no post? Wassup!
April 26th, 2008 at 1:58 am
Awesome utility, thx.

Hi Fuad, New month of May has started and you have been unusually silent. All well with you?
May 1st, 2008 at 7:01 am
Hey, I see your site survived the “dreaded Google PageRank update” (insert ominous voice) unscathed. Congratulations

I thought i’d just toddle along and see if you had anything up for the start of the new month. So again: Wassup!

I got a page rank of 2 which i’m over the moon about. I know page rank means nothing unless you are selling links, but the fact that I now have something to show for my hard work is very pleasing!

So how does that work? Speech recognition?
May 5th, 2008 at 1:30 am
On second thoughts I really tried it and it’s cool.
May 5th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Fuad, as you can see, quite a few of us are getting a tad worried about your absence. Hope all is well with you.
May 5th, 2008 at 10:07 am
@ John, Don’t sell yourself short, PR2 is definitely something to be proud about.
May 5th, 2008 at 7:01 pm

Which database this app uses?
November 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
can you use minilyric with Make your own Karaoke software. If so how do I import the lyrics into it?
March 4th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Sweet, I have a friend who was wondering how to do this. Cool, keep up the good work!
