Wellcome to the wonderful world of LRC(minilyrics)

What am i talking about?

An easy definition could be: .lrc files are the subtitles for the music, and looks like .SRT files(video subtitles) are text files with a timestamp before each phrase.

ex. [min:sec.mmm] bla bla bla bla

Note: Some people tags the lyrics in different way (by hand or by software), the players should work with all but could fail if the developer didn't think in that.

Real examples of tags:

[0:34] 1 digit for minute and 2 for seconds
[01:07.037] 2 digit for minutes and 3 for milliseconds
[00:15.38] 2 digits for minutes and 2 for milliseconds ¿wrong?
[1:01.296] 1 digit for minutes and 3 for milliseconds

Minilyrics isn't the same as videosubtitles therefore the millisecond precision is not necessary and any value is correct.

These timestamps must be syncronized with the music file (ogg, mp3,etc...)

what do I need?
A music player hardware or software, with support for lyrics (a plugin for your application is a common solution)favourite player, this player can be a hardware or software, some cheap mp3 player support .srt files (I suppose ipod too).


Software for
Windows/Linux: Winamp, Amarok,..... (some of them need a plugin)
Songbird+scrolling lyric (don't read from local lrc files, download the lyric/minilyric from internet)*
Apple MacOS: XBMC (very good support)
Nokia Maemo: Mediabox (small font and not configurable)
PalmOS: ptlyrics (+Pocket tunes)*
Symbian: LCG Jukebox

* include creation of minilyrics (tag time on lyrics)

where i can get .lrc files?



http://www.lrcdb.org/
http://www.lyrdb.com/
or if you want a pack with lrcfiles + mp3 you can search in torrent with "ramones mania"

and one example of lrc file: Bad Religion - Turn on the light

Present and Future
This is an unknow format for too many people, press, no commercial (i don't know any company using this format)
however this isn't too important because people made their .lrc files by themselves (is as easy as to edit an lyric text file and add the timestamps)


Opinion:
I think this is a good way to improve your english oral understanding.

GPS: Offroad Maps and PDA Soft

Today everybuddy know Tomtom and planning road routes, but there is a huge world refering to GPS, tracking routes,... and a big problem of this world is the existence of hundred formats, depending of the software which we are using which depends of the hardware platform/System operative.

In internet there are avaiable many free maps, but perhaps the format isn't the fomat which we need, sometimes is used oziexplorer format (.map + .ozf3) and this software is only available for Windows and Windows mobile.
Due this I've made an easy diagram explaining the steps for this conversion.

Palm OS Essentials (in construction)

Incomplete List. (v.05)



I've been testing and using some software for PalmOs during some years, since this operative system/Architecture was abandoned by Palm and the 3rd parties, it still being a useful device because we have enough software.

The main objective of this post is control my installed versions, and I think "that" you could be interested in know about these interesting apps.
In this entry I won't analyze the apps, "this is why" it isn't the purpose of the article but probably I will comment certain apps in future posted articles.
