I think it would be really nice if the words could be made
to scroll across in a line -- obviously this wouldnt bear
any relation to the actual point in the song - maybe you
could click on it to get the full page up?

Look at the "song title" scroll to get an idea of what i
mean

    I don't really understand what you'd like...
    If a line is wider that the window, it should scroll, that's it?

    Anyway... Everything is still in development, I just put
    html out to handle the display myself. I'm not 100% sure of
    the way I'll do it now.
    A scrolling is quite easily doable, yet I don't really see
    how to make it nice (scrolling just a line here and there
    seems a bit odd to me... but I may have misunderstood)

    I was thinkin about that before I even saw your post =P I'm
    not exactly sure how it would sync to the music though.
    That seems like it would be the only problem. Another
    thought I had was to somehow incorperate the lyrics with
    visualizations. Perhaps this isn't possible because the lyrics
    use the browser, not the vis. window, but hey, a boy can
    dream right? =)

    To sync things to music, and make this featrue
    "interesting", we'd need to add timestamps in the lyric
    files (like in karaoke files) I'm not in charge of the
    lyrics site, so I can't change anything on this.
    There are some plugins doing somethings like that, but I
    never looked at them
    http://freshmeat.net/projects/xmms-singit/?topic_id=124%2C113

    All I could do, is to make the lyric go at a defined speed
    (by example, 3characters/sec), but I'm not sure it would be
    very usefull.
    Maybe later we'll change this and have timestamps (in a
    seperate file), but I doubt it.

    Here I talk for the xmms version:
    Incorporating in the visualizations is possible if you
    "merge" the two source codes, and use in both of them
    compatible tools (ie gtk library, etc...)
    If you want to "hack" the visualization window, and add the
    lyrics there, this is another problem. It may be doable
    using low level display function, but I don't know more
    about this for the moment!
