DESCRIPTION
Harmonic is lyrics done right. Anywhere.

Harmonic always finds the lyrics you want, quickly and easily. You don't have to do a thing. Fire up the widget and play a song from iTunes. Leave it open in Dashboard and each song that plays will have lyrics added to it in the background while you work or play. It's that easy.

iPod integration If you have an iPod with video or an iPod nano, your lyrics go directly onto the iPod via iTunes. Tap the center button while playing a song to sing along. Have an older iPod? No problem. Just drag the "Harmonic Lyrics" folder from your Music folder into the "Notes" folder on your iPod. Next time you are on the bus and can't figure out that one line, whip to your Extras > Notes > Harmonic Lyrics section on your iPod and experience portably lyrical bliss.

Harmonic is the not only the best looking lyrics widget, it is also the simplest to use. Don't worry about it, it does exactly what you want it to.

RANGERRICK337  Finally a lyrics widget that works! I created a macupdate account just to leave my first review because I was amazed at how much this has improved.

I'm not sure what was done on this latest release but it is a night and day difference compared with the version I used 6 or 7 months ago.

I started with Harmonic, and it worked but never that well. Then I switched to Pearlyrics which was marginally better, but still unimpressive.

Today I decided to check if Harmonic had improved and I was surprised to see that lyrics were found and updated in iTunes within the first few seconds of the song! It is now very fast and much more accurate; able to pick up lyrics for many live songs as well. Hats off to the developer.

The one feature I liked of Pearlyrics that Harmonic lacks is the ability to delay the input of lyrics into the song data so that there isn't the common slight pause of the song at the beginning of the track. If it also had a feature to add lyrics to the whole library without having to play each song this widget would be godly.  (Version 2.3)

FARDILHA  Strange.

Harmonic stopped working for me.

I'm not sure if it was after updating Leopard to 10.5.3 of Harmonic to 2.3, but somewhere in the hay something strange happened.

Now, after changing a song on iTunes i can see the lyric being displayed on Harmonic for a split of a second but it changes to "Can't Find Lyrics".

Checking Terminal I can confirm that harmonic did find the lyric, so I don't know why it's not showing it.  (Version 2.3)

DAVE3000   The 2.2 update rocks! Yeah, this widget can only find lyrics that are already on the web somewhere, it can't make them up by itself. I can live with that.

I had an issue with the paste function on v2.1.1 but the update seems to have fixed that.

Thanks for the great widget.  (Version 2.2)
