At the beginning we had Sing that iTune, a very popular and nice little widget. Sadly it hasn’t seen an update since 2008 and has stopped working altogether. In light of this I found a fairly decent replacement in Harmonic. This offered similar features, but is now giving a message stating due to licensing restrictions, it can no longer supply lyrics.

After all these issues I set about finding an alternative to Sing that iTune and Harmonic, and ended up finding a little gem going by the name of TunesTEXT. Made by Cyan Works, this widget not only finds and adds lyrics to iTunes, it does it VERY quickly indeed.

TunesTEXTThe great thing about TunesTEXT is that it also searches and adds lyrics to iTunes automatically, without having to launch Dashboard with every change of song. Not only that but it also has a built in iTunes controller and lyrics Editor, so you can easily make adjustments or choose from multiple sources. Overall this is a great little Widget, that I would highly recommend.
