mp3 synchronised lyrics

Hi All.

Is there anybody out there who could possibly give me a hint on how to add
synchronised lyrics (lyrics3) to a mp3 song so that the good old mediaplayer
can display them? I have been searching the net for days now and could not
find anything in VB.Net about that issue..

I would like to read the lyrics including timestamps, maybe modifiy the
lyrics or the timing and write them back to the mp3 file...

I am using VB.Net 2003...

Best regards,

Wolfgang.

The best I've seen is MP3 Tag Clinic available at www.mpegx.com. You can get
a free trial version but have to pay after so many uses. It's pretty good.
Other than that, you can write your own tag editor for just the lyrics...not
too complicated if you like to work with tedious byte counts.

Take a look at MP3+Gs.

Hi.

The big difference here is, that mp3+g needs two different files (mp3 &
bin).
I want the lyrics inside the mp3 tags => one file only...

Best regards,

Wolfgang.

AFAIK there isn't enough room inside the tags to place the entire lyrics
in there.

Hi,

AFAIK you can put anything into an ID3v2 tag.... In fact if you use the
advanced tag editor built into WMP10 you can add pictures. I've added quite
a few pictures to some MP3's and I'm sure they are a bigger filesize than a
set of lyrics. Thats the whole point of the v2 tag though isn't it? to be
boundless...
