This is a lyrics finder plug-in project for Winamp and iTunes.

There are two versions. One that works with Winamp and the other that works with iTunes.

The plugins work by reading the ID3 tags from the currently playing file.

Winamp

If the song title is in Unicode Kannada, it fetches the results from http://www.kannadalyrics.com. If the tags are not in unicode kannada, it will transliterate the title and album based on the genre tag and gives a link for searching the lyrics on google.

• To run this plugin, you'll need Winamp 5.572 and above. It has been tested on v5.572. You can download it from http://www.winamp.com.
• The plug-in is actually supposed to be deployed as an online service, but as I have not submitted it yet, it needs to be setup as given below
1. Download the latest version of the ml_webdev plugin (ml_webdev.dll) from http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/plugin-dev/wa_webdev.exe, which will create a "Web Dev Test Platform" within the Media Library pane.
2. Currently the project has been deployed to http://kannadalyrics.x10hosting.com/Lyrics.html. However, if either the site is down or you want to host the code on your own server, check the installation page on the Wiki tab.

iTunes

You need iTunes version 10.1.1.4 or higher. If the song and album are in Unicode Kannada and the genre is set to "Kannada", it fetches the results from http://www.kannadalyrics.com. Currently only the windows iTunes version is available for download. Use the installer.msi from the downloads section to install.
