Minilyrics Description
Minilyrics is a tool that integrates into Winamp, Windows Media Player, iTunes, RealPlayer, foobar2000 and VLC Media Player (to name a few) in order to automatically display lyrics for songs.
Customizable setup package
During the installation process, you have to choose one or several media players, so that Minilyrics can install a supported plugin.
For instance, we chose VLC Media Player. Unfortunately, there are no guidelines to show how you are supposed to activate Minilyrics. In VLC, you have to go to Preferences, view all settings, go to Control Interfaces, and here you must enable Minilyrics, after which you have to restart VLC.
Personalize the interface
The interface of Minilyrics is completely customizable, so you can select from several skins – Fantasy, iTunes Mode, Windows 7, Metal, Modern, and several others.
Once you load a music file, Minilyrics automatically searches for the correspondent lyrics within its database. It is very likely that some of the lyrics will not turn out accurate, but there is the possibility to correct them in an editor, thanks to the tool.
Easily configure settings
It is possible to rate and upload lyrics, save them as an LRC file, select the character encoding method, select either the lyrics floating or bar mode, edit display options when it comes to the hue level, enable mouse click-through and karaoke display mode, as well as select vertical or horizontal scrolling, double or single line, static text, or movie subtitle style.
Evaluation and conclusion
The application uses a small amount of CPU and memory, so it does not put a strain on PC performance. We have not come across any type of issues throughout our tests, since the tool did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. Overall, Minilyrics is definitely a fun way to break the ice at any party.
