Mobility Site - View Single Post - REVIEW: Two new media players: WinVibe and LGC Jukebox

UPDATE (02/12/2007): I’ve thoroughly tested the (offline) lyrics, MP3 tag and album art support of the two players.

WinVibe (as of the latest, 4.9.5 version) has turned out

not to support files with .lrc at all (you can, however, (mass-)rename these files to TXT files; then, all will work
to support lyrics .txt files flawlessly
its MP3 lyrics tag support is flawed as can be seen in here – the starting three “Kuin oisin omilla mailla / Oman pellon pientarilla, / Oi” rows are completely missing from the original lyrics. This means it may not display the start of other embedded lyrics either.

Unfortunately, it has absolutely no support for album art or MP3 tags at all.

LGC Jukebox, on the other hand, only supports .LRC files, not embedded lyrics or .TXT files. (The latter, again, can be very easily converted into .LRC files with a simple (mass) file rename.) I should also point out that, while it doesn’t support directory-level album art, it does show embedded thumbnails as can be seen in here. Unfortunately, it doesn’t display MP3 tags at all.
