Note that this is quite difficult to implement: would you share your own MP3s by adding the lyrics for your songs?
I think that most people will almost never do that. Try looking into search engines for lyrics, to find the exact title of files you want. Then look for that title or author...
Generally Lyrics are easy to find on many websites, or there are various online groups to find contacts helping with your interests to help you locate a song... If you heared that music on a radio, or on TV, try looking at the website of that broadcaster to look for their programmation.
Note however that some people share their songs with text files with the same filename; you may also find scanned bitmaps for CD's... Looking for texts and images or for any file would help you locate these extra info.
But Limewire and Gnutella is not a full-text search engine. It will just locate files by their name and their meta-data if available. MP3s include most often ID3v1 tags which don't contain embedded lyrics or images. Some MP3s contain ID3v2 tags which may contain these extra data, but ID3v2 tags in MP3 files are rarely indexed on Gnutella.
This will change in a near future, because it's much easier to add meta-data with a MP3 file tag editor than within LimeWire or any Gnutella client, which is designed to be first a generic search tool for files. |
