Overview

Singing your favorite songs aloud is one of those little pleasures in life, especially when nobody's around to see you. But you obviously need to know the lyrics to the song you're trying to belt out. Fortunately, this is something you can easily find with MiniLyrics.

How it works

MiniLyrics is a plug-in that includes one of the most impressive lyrics database most users will ever encounter, even if they're compulsive MP3 collectors.

It launches simultaneously with almost any music player you can imagine, including iTunes, Winamp and Windows Media Player. Then, just click on the Play button and the program will automatically look for lyrics, based on the information provided by the song file's tags.

Features

During tests, MiniLyrics found the lyrics to every single track played, including English, Spanish, German, Italian and even Japanese songs. Also, in the few occasions MiniLyrics didn't find the proper lyrics, they were able to be downloaded and displayed in less than 30 seconds. The program can even save lyrics in mp3 files and let you view them on the iPod Touch or iPhone.

On the downside, MiniLyrics displays a nag window every time you launch it and another registration reminder on top of each lyrics file. That's a price most music fanatics will likely be willing to pay however.

MiniLyrics is an awesome plug-in for music lovers who want to know just exactly what their favorite musicians are singing about.

iTunes works great as a music manager, but some people don't like it that much for playing music. If you're among them, your opinion may change after installing SkiniTunes.

SkiniTunes is a nicely designed alternative to the iTunes Mini-Player that improves the way iTunes works as music player. Far from the typical dull gray iTunes interface, SkiniTunes features an eye-catching customizable interface that displays all the information you need: artist, song, album, timeline and album cover art if available.

SkiniTunes also includes the necessary controls to manage music playback, as well as a special tool to rate the song that's currently playing directly on the player's interface. Extra utilities include access to information online about a specific song, finding lyrics on the Web and displaying album cover art as your avatar in Live Messenger.

On the downside, this program is only a lite version of SkiniTunes Pro, which features extended functionality. And this, despite the fact that I really liked SkiniTunes, is always a bit disappointing.

SkiniTunes is a colorful customizable desktop player that enhances the way iTunes works as a music player.

DestroY MediaPlay is one hell of a flexible media player - it plays video, audio files, DVDs and can even display and play music online.

Not only this, but it features a mini web browser with which you can surf the net. It terms of flexibility, this player is hard to beat. The list of formats it can play is seemingly endless including asf, asx, wav, wma, wmv, ogg, mpg, mpeg and snd amongst many many others. The DVD players is also pretty impressive featuring full support for CDDB so there's no need to label your tracks manually once they are converted to mp3 format. The players also supports some audio streaming although it's designed mainly for SHOUTcast and Icecast streams.

The interface is pretty cool for a free player although it seems like there are only 7 alternatives to the default skin. However, there is an effective Spectrum Analyzer and Oscilloscope plus it supports Drag & Dropping of tracks plus the scheduling of tracks. This can be done by track number, date and up to a set limit of daily, weekly or monthly. In addition to all this, there are hotkeys configurable and you can type in the lyrics for your own karaoke sessions. Add this to an ID3V1/V2 & OGG tag editor, DirectX sound effects and Playlist HTML export and you have a pretty impressive package.

A very comprehensive and modern looking player but it could do with some more skins and slightly more streaming support.
