Forgive me my ignorance, but can I play mp3 files in folders without adding them to playlists? Is it possible to automatically play nested folders?

It looks as if you're saying that getting the lyrics and embedding them is easier than just getting the lyrics, which sounds odd.
Does some music come with the lyrics embedded in the tags? That's pretty neat.
For an example, of the latter. There's a lyrics screenlet for anyone that uses screenlets (imagine Widgets). If works with most default music programs in Linux (Amarok, Banshee, RhythmBox, etc..) and it'll grab the lyrics of whatever song that's playing and put it into a folder named the same as the song file name (e.g. if it's bob then the lyrics will be in a file named bob). Then I just copy and paste it into there.
But there are also programs like Minilyrics which will grab the lyrics and integrate them into the mp3 file automatically.
If there's another solution I am unaware of for easy populating of lyrics then please let me know. And I will have info on how lyrics are done (when integrating into mp3 files) soon (just need to boot into Windows sometime since Minilyrics is Windows only).

Using Songbird with one of the lyrics plugins that saves to the file. MP3tag shows the file as..
Unsynced Lyrics:
It seems Minilyrics does the same thing (it offers both sync and unsynched) saving to the file. As well as saving it to the same folder with the same file name.
Unsynced Lyrics:
Code:
XXX||Its hard to have strength when theres nothing to eat And its hard to eat when you dont have the teeth And how, when you lose the one thing you love Theres nothing below and theres nothing above. Well,Ive been going through changes Ive been going through changes Ive been going through changes With nothing at all. Its hard to accept what you dont understand And its hard to launch without knowing how to land And how, when it burns, you cant change a thing You can soften the blow, but you cant stop the sting And,Ive been going through changes Ive been going through changes Ive been going through changes With nothing at all. Nothing at all Nothing at all Well,I'm still yours even if youre not mine I stare at the floor and I study the lines Oh I took my place at the back of the crowd Baby I couldnt see, but at least it was loud. At least it was loud... And,Ive been going through changes Ive been going through changes Ive been going through changes And I know that I needed changes But not this, cause this is not painless no, this is not painless Nothing at all

I can't seem to get lyrics to work. I have LRC files in the directory where the mp3 is, named the same as the mp3, but it always shows no lyrics found. The lyric files were created by minilyrics.

Plain lyrics are not supported yet; only LRC lyrics with time tags.

wow! what an improvement in 0.96.5. the thumb bars are great, being able to search within a playlist, soft keyboard, being able to create a playlist for bookmarked files. the startup time is MUCH faster for me now (~22 sec v. 2 MINUTES on the last version). a couple of problems/suggestions:
1. hardware button control of seeking is great. it isn't working for me though; the time will initially jump forward by about 15 secs, but when you let go of the button it ends up in the same section of the stream that you started in. this is for mp3's. on ogg's it seems to work correctly.
2. love the scrollbars. in "car" view, i'd still like a fat thumbable seek bar and indicator.
3. any way to remember what song/playlist was loaded, and where you were in a stream when MB closes, and then revert to that upon opening again?
4. i haven't played around with it enough yet, but when you open a bookmark, it only loads that file, instead of loading the playlist that that file was a part of?
again, keep up the great work! MB is finally fast enough and robust enough to be my sole music program. oh, is there a change log anywhere? i'm sure there are some new features that i haven't found yet on my own...

This looks like there's a invalidly encoded tag in a file.
Running MediaBox -vvv >err.txt might reveal more information.
But it's bad that this error causes MediaBox to hang. I'll investigate this.
Thanks for reporting.

But when I navigate to the directory containing all these files, and try to make a playlist from it (to do a shuffle all), it still only ends up holding 445 items instead of the 1500 it should.

Figured out my remaining smaller-than-expected playlist issue.
In PlaylistDevice.py function __add_item_to_playlist, there is a check for "if (count[0] >= 500): return". It appears to be some sort of anti-infinite-loop check. The arrangement of directories and files meant that after skipping directories and adding 445 files, this check passed and adding stopped. I bumped it up to 5000, ran again, and saw a playlist more like I expected .
