Sorry man, I had to take down the script for maintenance.
Lyricwiki has changed again, and I am struggling to get appscript working again in leopard 10.6… it is just the last step towards a workable script.
Anyway I will reactivate the link on the post, if you or someone else wants to figure out things on its own!

Hi!

Maybe I’m blind, but I don’t see a link to download “MassiveLyrics.rb” file. Please give a link.

Thanks!

I’ve made a few improvements on the script.. here they are:
1. not require curb, using require ‘net/http’ from the standard library
pagecontent = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(url)).body
2. to handle any special character I convert everything to hex representation
def str_to_url_hex(str)
out = “”
i = 0
while !str[i].nil? do
out += ‘%’ + (“%02s” % str[i].to_s(16)).gsub(‘ ‘,’0′)
i+=1
end
out
end
song = str_to_url_hex(song)

3. the liricswiki website moved to http://lyrics.wikia.com/ and the paged didn’t get parsed correctly… so I modified that too.. it’s a bit hacky so I won’t put it here

thanks for the appscript part, I didn’t know about it!
bye

Hi!

I used your script some time ago.

Now I’m trying to use it, it exits OK, but no lyrics has been updated in iTunes! No files get updated.

Stdout:

[01:43:28] user@station:[~/Downloads]:ruby massivelyrics.rb
“Found: Michael Jackson – Jam”
“Found: Michael Jackson – Why You Wanna Trip On Me”
“Found: Michael Jackson – In The Closet”
“Found: Michael Jackson – She Drives Me Wild”
“Found: Michael Jackson – Remember The Time”
“Found: Michael Jackson – Can’t Let Her Get Away”
“Found: Michael Jackson – Heal The World”
“Found: Michael Jackson – Black Or White”
“Found: Michael Jackson – Who Is It”
“Found: Michael Jackson – Give In To Me”
“Found: Michael Jackson – Will You Be There”
“Found: Michael Jackson – Keep The Faith”
“Found: Michael Jackson – Gone Too Soon”
“Found: Michael Jackson – Dangerous”
“lyrics already present 0″
“updated 14 song(s)”
“not found 0″

Thanks!

Got everything installed but I’m getting this error:
Black_Eyed_Peas:Rock_That_Body
CANNOT FIND any lyrics for Black Eyed Peas – Rock That Body
===============================================================
lyrics already present for 0 song(s)
lyrics not found for 1 song(s)
updated 0 song(s)

for every song without lyrics. When I look at lyricwiki.org I’m getting forwarded to lyrics.wikia.com and I’m able to find the lyrics. But somehow the script seems to fail…
Thanks in advance.

Jake, the version of the script is very early, and for now it is suiited for systems that already have a basic set of developer tools installed.
I am working towards a refined 0.2 version, which hopefully will ease away the quirks of this ‘developer’ version. So… stay tuned :)

Hi,

I’m trying to run the application. I’ve tried installing the curb gems and appscript things in terminal, but it doesnt seem to do much. It asks me for my password in terminal, which i have none for my mac, i press enter, and nothing happens. When i run the application, i get this in the message box

Running…
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require’: no such file to load — appscript (LoadError)
from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require’
from /Users/mullanj/Downloads/MassiveLyrics 2.app/Contents/Resources/script:25

I’m really unskilled with all this. Can someone help me out?
Thanks =)
