Created

Hi! Here is ttplyrics project's development blog. The ttplyrics is a rhythmbox plugin which allow you to download lyrics from ttplayer lyrics server. I use python other than C to code, coz it's seems more ez and less code. The project is now hosted on Google code, you can access via this link.

I use ttplayer's lyrics server to search and fetch lyrics, which may be NOT authorized. So the best way is build our own lyrics server, and everybody can contribute to or request lyrics from this server. But patent maybe involved.

Anyway, the first step was took, I cracked the ttplayer's lyrics DLL(ttp_lrcs.dll), and find the method how the dll call API to get lyrics, and wrote a standalone python app, you can use it like this:

python ttplyrics.py "阿桑" "野百合也有春天"

it will list all the result searched, and you select a index to download the lyrics you want.
