GimmeSomeTune is an application that extends iTunes' functionality.
With GimmeSomeTune, you can download lyrics and album covers without the user having to do anything - so that he can do things the computer can't do for him. Last.fm and remote control support are available for you at your fingertips. Furthermore, it shows you iTunes' currently playing song in a beautiful floating window, which you can hide with the push of a button, and it can as easily be brought back to the foreground.
GimmeSomeTune offers the user a lyrics-window, which shows you the lyrics of the currently playing song. In this window, you can also edit the lyrics on the fly, and, if GimmeSomeTune can't find any lyrics, look for them on Google. Of course, GimmeSomeTune features a vast number of hotkeys to control iTunes (and parts of GimmeSomeTune itself) out of any application. Alternatively, or as a complement, there is a mini-controller that lets you control iTunes with the mouse.
To please every individual user, GimmeSomeTune has functionality to change it's appearance. The user can, amongst other things, modify the infowindow and the status menu. Even the information GimmeSomeTune shows you is changeable. Other features of GimmeSomeTune are support for iChat, a "Recently Played" menu and a daemon, which starts and quits GimmeSomeTune whenever iTunes starts or quits.
Version 4.1 for Mac OS X 10.4 can be downloaded here.

The function is substantial and it is easy-to-use.
I believe that it is one which was most excellent in this software in many iTunes Controller.
I am thankful to the developer from the bottom of my heart.
I hope strongly this software is compatibility with 10.7.
OS which I am using now is 10.6.8.

I use Sizzling Keys for everything else, but keep this to display lyrics. And use Get Lyrical to grab lyrics; seems to be the only app that does it well.
Wish there was an app that combined all these functions satisfactorily, but there isn't.

please read the August 3rd, 2009 entry. it seems the music industry forced lyricwiki to lock their api to third partys. so now most of the lyric fetching tools are broken.
as a result: I'm gonna cancle the few cds I was still purchasing. that's it folks. I'm not gonna support you suckers.

Get Lyrical still works great. I switched.

The guys from lyricwiki.org, one of the sites GimmeSomeTune uses to retrieve lyrics, have upgraded their server software, hence the lyrics problems. However, they know about it and are working on it!
Hope this clarifies the issues. I hope they can fix it soon!

At the same time it is good that LyricWiki is used because it has got a lot of Lyrics that others do not!

I am aware of this problem and working on a solution. An update will be released soon!
Thanks.
Trying to fetch lyrics for "Eros Ramazotti - Musica e" and the problem should be evident.
Still, great app, if you don't try to get lyrics for French of Italian songs.
I'm trying to download version 3.5, however even from the developer's site, it's still only version 3.0.
Cheers

And when I click on the application's 'check for update' it downloads to my computer, but it's also version 3.0 ... I've also sent the developer an e-mail.
