Keep this article

I am removing the notability and unreferenced tags. I found a good reference page and am updating the page accordingly. --CurtisP 01:32, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just purchased a cheap MP3 player that supports LRC files. I'll see if I can find anything else to add to this entry.--CurtisP 23:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article refers to that some players ignore the tags, so I updated it. And I checked with my MP3 player and it ignores the tags, havened been able to find another source yet. ChaosR 21:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese lyrics site

Copied from User talk:Rich257:

The site is in Japanese, but they have lyrics in many languages (including English). For example, search for "Leaving on a jet plane". I think you should add the link because it is really a big resource, the other external link has just Hip-Hop lyrics. Added by 200.226.22.160 at 22:38, 21 October 2006

Not sure which is the search box on the site, it's all in Japanese. Typed that in one box and came up with a page of pictures, artists or album, not sure which, didn't see a link to LRC files. Rich257 19:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nor do I speak japanese, but I can use this site. But, as you couldn't use it, maybe other English Wikipedia readers will not find the proper search box too. I've tried to find another resource, but it's hard to find lrc files on the web. -- 200.226.28.40 01:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see there are links to other sites on this talk page. Have a look at WP:External links, I think the Japanese link fails on a number of criteria. Rich257 08:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LRC and KAR

Can anybody compare *.LRC and *.KAR?. A *.MID (MIDI) file with LRC lyrcis is an integrated *.KAR file ?. --Altermike 07:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Commons

We would include *.LRC files in Wikimedia Commons or Wikisource. --Altermike 07:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stepmania

I added Stepmania to programs that support LRC, because it does...but it doesn't really fit in with the other programs, since they are media players I'd imagine. Should it be kept there?

mention charset issues

Mention what character set is to be used in .LRC files. E.g, is

[04:00.57][03:24.78][01:53.80]一个人去想的寂寞

to be encoded in UTF-8 or must one convert to the character set of the player? Jidanni (talk) 02:58, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, apparently there is no defined character set, some devices accept only ANSI, while others accept UTF-8 without BOM other with BOM at start of UTF-8... An ANSI file is a valid UTF-8 file without BOM ...

Nokia devices

"Music Player with lyrics available for selected software versions of Nokia 5800XM, X6 and 5230" http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/news

Nokia recently release an updated version of media player on some symbian devices, it supports LRC files, doesn't interpret extended format (appears always green) and ignores Enhanced format timestamp tags...

I've added Nokia's selected devices to the list of supported hardware, even tough i don't know if software would be more fit...
