We all know that ultralisks and protoss are imba.

its going to be awesome too, if you get it done

If you get it done, you could easily sell it for $5 and make a killing.
Of course, you'd have to release it to TL.net for free.

I use Media Monkey for tagging large numbers of mp3s, and Leo's Lyrics plugin for Winamp to search for lyrics while playing and storing them in the mp3 tag.

As long as you don't do it like MS and destroy the file in the process...

Yeah That would suck

About the ID3 tag: There's this neat website that has a lot of file formats listed, not being one of those ugly knowledge stealing places.. Wotsit's format?
from the top of my head I know it's a simple format, just a bunch of junk added to the end of an MP3 file. (It originated as an ad-hoc method that would not break existing players that didn't support the tag. Those players just ignored the extra data (or played the almost soundless bytes? not sure).)
But ehm, the thing that you are looking to create, already exists. Of course you can still go ahead. In case you want a pointer to an example of what I mean.. Leo's Lyrics is a big database that uses ID3 information in the same way. It's an online service, that I used once in a blue moon via a plug-in for winamp. The site, btw, is ridden with ads of course.. Long time ago that I used the plug-in, but it might be 'ad-supported' as well. Of course you could send queries to the leo lyrics server, as your means of searching, basically creating a local backup of the database for your files.
Edit: Scorch, you thunder stealer!

winamp already has an addon which does that

Then no one would buy it, instead make a crack for it, or get more experienced programmers to write a better program (no offense to op)
Software should be free.

Every single linux media player does this and is open source. I suggest you take a look at Sonata (requires zsi for lyrics fetching support) because it's simple and written in Python.
Others:
Exaile (Python)
Banshee (.NET [mono])
Amarok (C++ I think, complex)
etc etc etc
|
Even Windows Media Player does this with an addon.
|
its still a good project though even if its redundant

the r is too hard to spot, so I just look for the double m

iTunes does this if you import it from a CD or have all of the correct Album, Artist, and Song Name information. You have to jump through a few hoops to get it to work though. (You might even require 3rd party software. If I've done that I don't remember doing so... It's been a while.)
However, many people hate iTunes or some reason and I think many would have use for this. Plus a good project if you're looking to have some fun. (Fun I guess is the right word. <.<)

The fact is the open source software would actually help him >_> the others are just...there.

Why? Because you don't want to pay for it?? The people who write code do a lot of it for fun, but they've gotta eat too, you know. What are you going to tell the folks at Wolfram and Microsoft and Apple and any other company that produces software?

Lol maybe this?
But yeah I think making new program takes time and effort and should be rewarded by money.
