Evil Lyrics is a small plug-in that displays the lyrics of songs as they play as long as you’ve got an internet connection.

The window floats in a small browser style window at the side of the player but it can be minimised to the tray if you don’t want it sat there.

The window also provides additional links to Google searches, Amazon album profiles, translations, offline storage and other album or song related data.

The plug-in was designed originally for Winamp (which is what we tested it in) but it now works with Windows Media Player, Foobar2000 and Sonique.

It’s also supposed to be compatible with Media Player XP although many users have reported problems with this particular player.

But most importantly, does it recall the lyrics accurately? Well, the truth is it’s not perfect but it does surprisingly well. In tests, we found that at least 80% of the time, it displayed the correct lyrics for the song in progress.

The accuracy of this is very much down to you though. If the ID tags of your MP3’s are not entered accurately, then you’ll either end up with some very random results or simply nothing at all.

There is a ‘Search Again’ button if this happens in which case Evil Lyrics tries to find the next closest match but we found it very rarely worked accurately.

More often than not, you’ll end up with Michael Jackson rather than Jackson Browne when using this secondary option. Evil Lyrics retrieves the info from it’s ‘Ello Lyrics’ database which claims to have literally hundreds of thousands of songs.

In classic karaoke style, the lyrics appear in huge luminous letters within the window which can be expanded to fill the screen meaning you can host your own karaoke parties.

This application scans your iTunes or Windows Media Player music library and searches the Web for the lyrics to all your songs. It has an incredibly high success rate, with songs from different styles and in different languages.

All you have to do is launch LyricsFetcher and let it scan your music. The initial setup might take a while, depending on the size of your library, but once all your songs are loaded in LyricsFetcher, adding new ones is just a question of using the File > Reload utility.

LyricsFetcher is very fast in finding lyrics, and though you can't really see which databases the program uses, in our tests all lyrics seemed accurate. And in case it doesn't work for a specific song, the program includes a "Search" button that lets you manually search for those lyrics. Once found, all lyrics are automatically added to the file's tags without any extra user intervention.

LyricsFetcher is probably the fastest and easiest way to get the lyrics to all your favorite songs.

You don't have to make up the words to songs anymore; ListDJ works as a plug-in for Spotify, opening a separate window next to the audio streaming application and displaying the lyrics to the songs you listen to.

We’ve tried ListDJ for a while and we’ve got to say that it never failed to display the lyrics – not once. The one thing that is not available for most songs yet is the karaoke option in ListDJ, where lyrics are displayed in a karaoke-style animation, phrase by phrase.

ListDJ’s Spotify integration could be improved, but the app is still at a beta stage, so let’s hope it gets better with future versions.
