Description:
 Sick and tired of traditional, crappy lyrics
search tools? Sick of having to go to google
yourself to hunt down lyrics? GoogLyrics is for
you! I've been annoyed by the low yield on some of
my more obscure music with many of the Amarok
lyric search scripts available. A long time ago,
I'd seen a rather impressive windows program
called EvilLyrics, they had an interesting idea,
search for the lyrics then rip them off known
websites, using this it managed to have a very
high success rate at lyric extraction. I decided
to implement this myself in an amarok script.
After a quick day of scripting, here's the result:
a true lyrics metasearch script. Now a month
later, this script is constantly getting more
advanced. It now supports many different popular
lyrics sites and has an extremely high success
rate on even my more obscure music.

If you're using Ubuntu or debian, this is as
simple as download+install the package below. For
any other distro, read on.

This script requires the WWW::Mechanize perl
module to run, 
to install it on any distro:
# cpan
cpan> install WWW::Mechanize
Done.

Text::Iconv is also required for this, however,
this is already included in most perl packages. if
not, follow the cpan instructions replacing
WWW::Mechanize with Text::Iconv


Logo credits go to puffaliaz, who I'm yet to have
a website from... when he makes one I'll post it.
