SPINN: Lyric display

[MegaZoneEX]

Hello my name is MegaZoneEX. i tried searching this forum for help on "how put the lyrics to a song using IRIVER PLUS 3?"

What i tried doing was placing the Lyrics in TEXTs", thinking i could attached them to a song, but sadly it has no feature like that.

please help, Mega

Unfortunately i don't think you can(with iriver plus 3), since they use some proprietary tech to embed the lyrics to the song you need a special program (iRiver LDB Manager) that then downloads the lyrics into the file.
But i hear the problem is they don't have that many songs in the database so its kind of useless.

yeah..about that, some of the songs lyrics that u can search for are either corrupted(e.g symbols(!@#$%) in the lyrics) or not synced fully to the song.

If you have the time(like me) its possible to REedit the lyrics and sync them properly using this program...so thanks again

On the Spinn: The lyrics are displayed under the album art (they do not show if the Album art is large).

- Lyric display only seems to work with the standard/default THEME( i've only tried 1)

I have also been trying to do that. Unfortunately, it is not possible with the iriver software. I have been emailing with iriver, and repeatedly they told me it could be done and I should just "play around with it some more". Today I received the official word from them:

Dear iRiver Customer,
Thank you for contacting iRiver customer support.
Updated News: that lyrics function is disabled for usage in the US due to legal issues.
This feature/service is allowed only in Korea.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

get the Korean firmware :]

I tried doing this for ages and finally managed put lyrics on the spinn.

You need to get the latest korean firmware and drop it on your "system" folder (I'm sorry I don't have the link, but I found it in this forums so it's a matter of perusing a bit). It won't change everything into korean so don't worry about it.

After that download iriver LDB manager. This is the part that gets tricky. since there are practically no premade lyrics outside Korea applicable to the iriver, you have to add them manually with the editor. Choose "editor", play an mp3 through the LDB, add some lyrics and synchro them with the "set synch" button (experiment a bit if that one doesn't do the trick). The problem is that one row only covers around 16-17 letters (spaces included) so it's quite a chore.

I was very disappointed with the spinn lyric display. With such a big screen it could easily display three to five lines of a length of 16 letters instead of a tiny bit at a time, making the process less annoying and time consuming.

All in all it's a nice idea if applied well, but as for now the lyrics option for the spinn takes too much time for a mediocre result. I suggest not bothering with lyrics for now, at least until iriver polishes the software.
