GSoC Report for Lyrics Support Improvements

[vedant agarwala]

Hello everyone,

As I make progress on my project, I learn just as all gain is not monetary
not all progress is code.

>From the time of my last report (Sorry Myriam since it was more than a week
ago), I have not written any "pushable" code i.e. only some code has been
changed that serve as markers (like a*TODO*) for future work or some really
minor bugs fixed that I stumbled upon as I use my flavor of Amarok.

Anyway, I was going through the collectionscanner code, trying to
understand how it works: it as another process that the main Amarok process
communicates with. It is designed to go through files and directories and
mark files that are useful to Amarok. Like .mp3 , .ogg , etc. I am thinking
to add .lrc to this list. For this I will have to create a class whose
instance would represent an lrc file.

After this I will need to add these lyrics to the Amarok database. I still
haven't been able to decide should I make this change in the generic
*core/collections/Collection.cpp* class or the
*core-impl/collections/SqlCollection.cpp* class. When this is over, I will
just have to save the lyrics as lyrics tag and the *LyricsApplet *will pick
it up.
