GSoC report 1: Improving lyrics support

[vedant agarwala]

Hello,

I have been working on my project since some time and have had to make
changes as I went on. I decided to get the highlighting working first then
we could get to make it more pleasing.

So right now, I am able to parse LRC files and highlight the line in the
present lyrics display applet itself. The text is just "selected" as the
song progresses. 2 buttons increase and decrease the offset so that one can
sync the line with track. This data is saved to the database (and file, if
user allows).

Link to latest commit:

To test it, just right-click on a track ->"edit track details"->"lyrics"
and paste the lyrics with timestamps i.e. the contents of a LRC file. As
soon as that track starts playing, the lyrics applet will strip the
timestamps, show the lyrics and highlight them.

Please review this since I have to do a mid term submission by 27th of this
month.

Thanks,
Vedant.
