OSD Lyrics的开发离不开开源软件的帮助。没有它们的代码作为参考，不知要摸索到何年何月。在此感谢以下对OSD Lyrics的发展提供过帮助的软件和个人：
- Gnome OSD：OSD模式的实现很多参考了它的代码
- lrcdis：第三方支持的创意和歌词下载的分析
- Cairo-Dock：各种播放器支持的实现参考自它的musicPlayer插件
- 全局快捷键的实现取自 Gnome Do，代码可追溯到Red hat和Tomboy
- TuaratriX同学也曾在OSD的实现上帮助过作者，并维护Ubuntu PPA源
- easy同学为我们设计了美丽的图标
- liangsuilong同学提供了RPM打包，并维护Fedora RPM源
