LyricMaster

I wrote back in January about Songbird, an open source music managing program like iTunes for both PC and Mac. I still swear by it over iTunes by a mile, but now even more so since I learned about LyricMaster.

LyricMaster is an add-on to Songbird that automatically populates your Songbird screen with the lyrics to whatever song you are listening to. In the future I assume iPods will come with this type of capability. For now, though, I prefer this method of finding lyrics over the google search if only for the speed. LyricMaster seems to find my song's lyrics before the song even begins to play. Rarely has it been unable to find a lyric to a song, and if it does it's usually to a song that's really obscure. As a result I find myself subconsciously paying much more attention to what I'm listening to.

Here's a screen shot.
