Hi,
I've heard somewhere that it is possible to store inside .ogg files text
streams and thus it should be possible to store lyrics for the sond
directly in the file. Is it true? Could anybody point me towards some code
how to do it (Python preferable, but not required)? Is there any
documentation for text streams in .ogg files?
Thanks for any reply,
Mat?j

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Matej, The only way I've found is annodexing. Their website is annodex.net . Basically its an XML stream (the syntax is CMML) in an ogg container. There is limited support at the moment. However, gstreamer supports annodex extraction so it should be easy to build into gstreamer based programs. I wrote a stand alone player for it. Its not taylored to song lyrics but it'll give you an idea what it enables. You are able to have tracks with clips associating a title, description, url, image, etc. with a start and end time, aka a clip. Its a pretty cool open standard. Here is a direct link to the Annoamp page, http://annodex.net/software/annoamp/index.html .

I guess it's not much different from storing lyrics in MP3 tags. Define a Vorbis Comment tag, dump an LRC file into it. Let the decoding app read the tag and peruse it as one would an LRC file.

LOL if there's a simpler alternative, why should I use a more complex one?
But seriously, although streaming the text with audio seems logical, it
introduces great complexity in the possible occasion of mis-timing. You may have
to disassemble the Ogg stream and reassemble it. From this POV, as a programmer
I'd rather use the comments hack.
Plus, I've seen new-style LRC files with multiple timestamps on one line,
e.g. :
[00:00:40]Atomic Kitten - Tide Is High
[00:09.6][00:46.7][00:56.2][01:33.3][01:42.7][02:40.9][02:50.1]The tide is high
[00:11.3][00:48.6][00:57.9][01:35.1][01:44.5][02:42.7][02:52.1]But I'm
holding on
[00:13.9][00:51.4][01:00.8][01:38.0][01:47.4][02:45.6][02:54.9]I'm gonna be
your number one
[00:18.9]I'm not the kinda girl
[00:21.3]Who gives up just like that (Oh no)
[00:28.0]It's not the things you do
[00:30.0]That tease and hurt me bad
[00:32.9]But it's the way you do the things
[00:35.2]You do to me

Annodex is a better way to do it. However some players still have
problems with multiplexed Ogg streams which might make a comments
hack attractive.
