MediaPlayer: Lyrics subtitle

[shinta]

It's nice when MediaPlayer plays music PV, MediaPlayer shows lyrics as subtitle.

Lyrics subtitle file's format is defined as time-tag standard.

According to this standard, lyrics file is text-base, so we can create lyrics subtitle file easily.

There are many applications that supports time-tag standard

• ​Lyrics Player (Windows)
• ​KbMedia Player (Windows)
• ​Gucchi's Lyrics Plug-In (Winamp plug-in)
• ​tmsVU (Winamp plug-in)
• ​KRAAMP (Winamp plug-in)
• ​CoolBar (Winamp plug-in)
• ​LyricTimeStamp (Mac)
• ​Transcend MP330 (Portable MP3 player)
• ​waku-WAK KARAOKE Player (Haiku)

Basically, lyrics file (foo.lrc) is below:

For example

[00:05:00] Hello
[00:10:00] Hi

"Hello" is shown at 5 sec and "Hi" is shown at 10 sec.

LRC files on wikipedia: ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LRC_(file_format) This is not exactly the same as the TimeTag spec linked above (which is available only in Japanese language). The base format is common, so we could start with that.
