Search by artist on the command-line

Open Chinggis6 opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

I've found the package on AUR. It is cool that it supports cmus in daemon mode. I'll definitely try it. I've been azlyrics from python-azlyrics-git using before discovering clyrics.

Only thing, how can specify the artist in the search, for instance:

Clouds - Heaven Was Blind to My Grief

to retrieve me lyrics of my favourite metal band :-)

I hope it (would) support(s) non-very-popular genres (unlike azlyrics) fetching lyrics from darklyrics.

Thank you for the attention.

Hi,

clyrics works by making a query on Google with the name of a given song, which can also include the artist name. The search is restricted only to the websites specified in the plugin files. A user, familiar with regular expressions and a little bit of Perl, can add more plugins for various other lyrics sites, using the general structure found in the provided plugins.

Does this answers your question?

Yes, it was informative. I'll try to check the plugin files. Thanks.
