<div class="IPBDescription">Nothing Fancy But It's Handy.</div> This is the program I spoke about a couple
of days ago.

It's nothing special so don't expect miracles.
I wrote it because i'm one of those annoying neighbours
who loves to sing along to the likes of Nightwish at 2am :-P
You simply input the name of the Artist and Song name
and click the button. The program then uses SeekLyrics.com
database to match up your request. Don't be surprised
if you get the odd page telling you that your song was not found.
They're constantly adding new lyrics. I've also found that I can
simply type in the artist name and it'll load up a page of all
available lyrics for that artist.
Things to remember:
===============
Free software = "AS-IS" - Don't blame me if an Emu pecks your computer.
Typing a gap will result in the gap being replaced with a dash, these
dashes are required for the results to load up.
There's "Help!" and "?" buttons for you to click.
I wrote this program to save myself time, if you don't like it... tough.
If you do like it then feel free to say so. It's also nice to hear things like
that....apparently :-/
Have fun, sing along, don't eat yellow snow!

.zip contains ll.exe (Main Program) and Readme.txt (For reading!)

check, check,.....oh crap
Well it was mainly an experiment for me to see if I
could intergrate a simple Browser Window into a Visual Basic
project. It worked but then I couldn't think of anything to
do with it.
So I tried to use it to search, specifically for lyrics to tunes.
That worked... mostly. So I decided to finish all the code
and its come it pretty handy and its been a good way to
learn.
As I said folks.... its nothing special. In total this thing
took me 40 minutes to complete and 10 of those were on
the icon <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Its not there to compete with WinAmp plug-ins or anything
like that. It's simply a by-product of my learning through VB
and various other programs.
If you don't like the look of it, thats fine, I understand, don't
download it. If you do like the look of it then great, help yourself.
I'll even send you the source to browse through.
If anyone out there is actually using knowledge tray (that I posted a few weeks ago), I have the configuration lines to make use of seeklyrics.com .
