Publisher's Description
From pearworks:
Ever wanted to dive into the world of those incredibly beautiful lyrics of the song currently playing in iTunes? pearLyrics gives you just that. It looks up song lyrics on the web as you play songs in iTunes. Sure enough, you can also search for lyrics without playing the song, just enter artist and song title manually. pearLyrics then consults up to seven different servers to do its best and find the lyrics you are looking for. And best of all, you can also tell it to populate the lyrics inside your iTunes Library. Heck, it can even find guitar chords at times. With the standalone app you can also pre-fetch lyrics for whole iTunes playlists so you have them ready when you need them. Sure, it might not find everything, but it does find a lot.
pearLyrics is available as a standalone application for those still preferring Panther as well as a Dashboard widget for Tiger (combined download).

"One of the best widgets!"
Version: pearLyrics 0.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
It's truly a shame that the cease and desist order was issued (it doesn't make much sense since you're just scraping the websites that provide the actual "damage" if you'd even call it that).
But it was one of the best widgets that did all of it's work in the background, adding lyrics to iTunes if need be, and the ability to search for chords was a nice touch. An excellent job! -
"This Little Application Rocks"
Version: pearLyrics 0.6
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is one of the best plug-in for i TUnes. Because it is smooth and it work seamlessly. Once open the little application automatically it searches the lyric or chords of the song that it is playing on iTunes. And listen to this: "Automatically it adds the lyrics to the song in iTunes". Excellent. Never crashed. It acts like it is an integral part of iTunes. Bravo! Antonio Tarantino -

"Excellent"
Version: pearLyrics 0.6

Works well, lean and simple, and fast results. Copies into iTunes without problems. Only comment is that "Delay iTunes lyric update to prevent skipping" does not appear to prevent skipping. Otherwise excellent. -

"Superior quality"
Version: pearLyrics 0.6
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Does everything advertised and does it well. It has helped me to populate the lyrics field of over 500 songs in my iTunes library with significantly less effort on my part than would have been necessary if I'd had to manually go out and look for the lyrics. -
"Terrific job - does exactly as specified"
Version: pearLyrics 0.6
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
The app is lean, mean and does a terrific job of what it is supposed to do. I have been able to completely replicate my CDs with this app (now adding lyrics). The developer responded to one inquiry quickly and succinctly with my answer when asked (even though freeware). Kudos!
