MiniLyrics
I came across this cool plugin/helper app for Winamp, Windows Media Player, iTunes and a bunch of other popular players this evening: MiniLyrics. Its buy-it-if-you-like-it-ware - i.e. the “trial” doesn’t expire. It works quite well indeed. When you play a track it reads the ID3 tags, goes off and searches for appropriate lyrics, and lets you pick which ones to download. It’ll scroll the lyrics on screen in time with the song being played. Cheap karaoke for all!
Here’s a screenshot of it in action, showing lyrics from The Cranberries’ “Linger”:

Surprisingly, lyrics for Kompressor Does Not Dance were unavailable - fancy that!
Its kind of amusing to play death metal tracks and see what those crazy roaring bastards are actually saying.
Kompressor break your glowstick. Kompressor eat your candy!
