LyricWiki Access

This function accesses the LyricWiki database in an attempt to retrieve lyrics for a given track. The search is based on the Artist and Title fields.

On a successful match the following information is available: abbreviated lyrics content, a URL to the full lyrics and a flag indicating if the full lyrics are not available due to a takedown request.

You can elect to save the URL to the full lyrics in the audio file's metadata. This is enabled via the Save URL to LyricWiki results page option. The URL will be saved to a UDURL named LyricWiki URL.

You can elect to save the takedown status in the audio file's metadata. This is enabled via the Save takedown status option. The URL will be saved to a User Defined URL named LyricWiki Takedown Status. The value will be 1 for takedown or 0 for not.

Setting the Saved returned partial lyrics option will save the partial lyrics to the track's lyrics field.

You can test the results of the search via the set options.

The Set action test state to found/not found option will set the action's test state to true if a match was found or false if not. This is only meaningful when running in grouped mode.

You can also save the takedown status to a variable for easy testing. The variable will set set to 1 if there is a takedown request or 0 if not.

The Show full lyrics in browser option will launch the URL referencing the full lyrics. This option is ignored when running in batched mode. Note that the browser will only be launched if a match was found and there is no takedown request. If there is a takedown request the supplied URL will not contain the full lyrics.

Note that this statement sets the Network Response property.
