Buddy Lists.

How many creepy old screen names do you have on your buddy list? People that you never talk to or even care about. I seem to have collected quite a few over the years. I don't even remember who some of them are. Maybe I should remove them. For example. Some 17 year old girl from arizona? Why and how are you on my buddy list?

Lyrics Search.

UPDATE:
Well I guess I was bored, I actually started making it. It works surprisingly well for what it is but it's not going to be released yet(if ever released) as it needs some work. I also have yet to actually index the lyrics for later searching. It also only works with winamp so far. Ill get stupid itunes in there soon. Here is a screenshot.

Foghat rules.

I had an what I thought was a novel idea a few days ago for a plugin to the new google desktop search. (also get the google IM program google talk which integrates into the new sidebars) It would search all the music you had on your hard drive and index or tag the mp3 with the lyrics for the song. (lyrics would come from internet lyric databases, as long as your files are named somewhat correctly) This would allow you to search for songs you have based on the lyrics. The sidebar now included with the desktop search could also have a panel to display the song lyrics of the current song playing. I liked the idea and decided to unrust my programming skills as I havn't really programmed anything since that paperchess program.

Well I find today that someone has already made something somewhat similar and its pretty cool. EvilLyrics is the program name and it can interface with the major music players. It automatically finds the lyrics for the current song playing (from internet sites) and displays them. You can then add the lyrics to the mp3 tag(through a plugin) or even find karaoke files which will step through the lyrics as they are happening. Cool stuff. Well made program. I still might make my plugin since EvilLyrics doesn't do much for searching and its not integrated into the cool google desktop search. My idea doesn't seem as novel as I thought though. Anyway, I recommend downloading EvilLyrics. Do it.
