DesktopLyrics is an application that displays the lyrics of the song currently playing in "iTunes" right on your desktop. The lyrics for the song have to be set in iTunes, DesktopLyrics does nothing to fetch them if they aren't available in iTunes. If you don't want to type-in all your lyrics manually you can use an application like "Harmonic", "GimmieSomeTune" or "Get Lyrical" .

Did you read description above?
It clearly says: "The lyrics for the song have to be set in iTunes, DesktopLyrics does nothing to fetch them if they aren't available in iTunes"

It has many options and uses little RAM.
Thanks!

This doesn't do everything under the kitchen sink it does one thing and it does it well... The ability to adjust the size of the font and set a background makes it highly adaptable, and very ledgible.
I so glad someone bothered to do this. I've used it for karaoke and just at parties for fun.
Great idea. well executed.

This is what I was looking for. The transparent window is in fact the big advantage. The developer should add "launch iTunes automatically" to Preferences to make the application even better.
Great app.

please contact me at with more details, i'd like to resolve this and any other issue.
i'm not sure what "The arrow keys malfunction under DesktopLyrics" is supposed to mean. do you want to say that while DesktopLyrics is running, the array keys stop functioning in other apps? this would be quite weird and not something i can reproduce. also note that of course, if you have set global hotkeys (e.g. with arrow keys) for activating DesktopLyrics functions like "next/previous page" these same keys (or key combinations) stop working in other apps. if you have set the arrow keys to control DesktopLyrics, they won't work in other apps anymore - of course you should choose unique key-combinations here. i will have to add something here to prevent misconfiguration and make this more obvious.
