Hack:mpdlyrics.rb

From Music Player Daemon Community Wiki

Script fetches lyrics from lyricwiki.org (as does Amarok) and displays them in your pager. Other scripts use mpc and I couldn't get them to work, this one uses nice ruby mpd library called librmpd and actually works.

[edit] Install using Ruby gems

• Download the script: mpdlyricsg.rb
• Installation:

# gem install librmpd
# mv mpdlyricsg.rb /usr/local/bin/mpdlyrics
# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mpdlyrics

[edit] Manual install

• Download the script: mpdlyrics.rb
• Download the library: librmpd.rb
• Installation:

# mv librmpd.rb /usr/local/lib/
# mv mpdlyrics.rb /usr/local/bin/mpdlyrics
# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mpdlyrics
