What's this lyric database everyone is talking about? And what's Emphatic? The program that runs it? me confused

emphatic was first written as a lyrics viewer. In the last version, I added a customizable full-screen info mode feature that I hope to expand on in future versions. In order to view lyrics, you need to first embed the lyrics (with timestamps) in your MP3's. The way that works right now is you use a WinAMP plugin (which I didn't write) to save the lyrics in the LRC text-file format, and then use lrctool, a command-line utility that I wrote, to embed those lyrics in the ID3v2 tag of the MP3. Then you sync your MP3's over to your empeg, run emphatic, and you've got lyrics.

There's a lot more info on the program's web page. There's also a few threads over in the Programming forum. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask and someone, quite possibly me, should be able to help you out.

As for the lyrics database, www.lrcdb.com , I hear it's about a week or two away from an initial launch. That's not my bag, but I am very appreciative of their work.
