a lyrics finder.
Lirica, an easy-to-use, powerful ,open-source lyrics finder for GNU/Linux.
What Lirica is
Lirica is a lyrics finder that searches the web for the text of a song currently played in a media player, grabs it, cleans it and then prints it, makes it easy to read and save it. This program is currently only for GNU/Linux, ports to other platforms are possible in the future. The main goal of this project is creating a lyrics finder with a easy-to-use GUI and powerfull search and text-cleaning algorithms.
The whole project is released under the GNU/GPL License ( you can find a copy of this license here ) and developed thanks to Sourceforge's tools.
Lirica's GUI and some of its functions are designed and coded using Trolltech's QT libraries to obtain a nice and customizable interface. Here are some screenshots of the application running on a Linux-box with Baghira theme.
