How to display lyrics of songs?

Solution 1:

After a bit of Google researching, I ended up with this article on OMG!Ubuntu. The OSD-Lyrics they suggested works like the way Minilyrics used to work. So, I am delighted.

OSDLyrics can be installed by the following steps:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:osd-lyrics/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install osdlyrics

Solution 2:

Why have a separate app for lyrics and not have them within the player? Maybe the external app like osdlyrics has a larger database? In fact it is far from matching Clementine's or that of Foobar2000 addons like Lyric Show Panel 3.

Clementine:

Foobar2000 in Wine/Playonlinux (excellent access to synced lyrics option to save them in tags etc):

I trust there are other good players to be used for this.
