Hi,
I really would like to share this application, but I fear it will only work with my mp3/lyric-collection and my naming-scheme.
The procedure is actually pretty simple:
1. I have one directory with all the lyrics in it(*), they are named:
lyrics/Artist 1 - Title 1.txt
lyrics/Artist 1 - Title 2.txt
lyrics/Artist 2 - Title 1.txt
...
2. I call qlyric (Ctrl+Alt+L)
3. qlyric does the DCOP-Call 'amarok player nowPlaying'
4. qlyric fetches the file '/path/to/lyrics/Current Artist - Current Title.txt'
5. qlyric fetches the cover from an other directory
6. qlyric shows lyric & cover
(*) The lyrics are fetched by an other program (which is an ugly bash-script). It tries to fetch the lyrics for every single mp3-file I have in my mp3-collection from 4 different sources on the net.
I think it would take me some weeks to port this system on an other computer (hard coded paths etc. etc.) ;-)

Cool screenshot. Amarok is the greatest thing for music in linux.
Could you please tell us more about qlyric? It looks interesting!
