It is a lovely bit of software that is helpful for anyone who uses Windows Media Player to listen to their music.

Comprehensive Lyric Searching
EvilLyrics’ system to add lyrics to Windows Media Player is very comprehensive indeed. It consults a series of lyrics websites in order to have the best chance of finding the correct lyrics for your song at speed. It also stores the lyrics when it downloads them, so that they can be viewed offline.
The offline factor in particular is very useful as it will eventually build up a library of many of the songs that you own, meaning that eventually your entire music library will be available as lyrics offline, meaning you can view the lyrics that you need whenever you want them. This is very useful indeed.
Thoughts…
For such a tiny download, EvilLyrics is an excellent tool to add lyrics to Windows Media Player. It searches rapidly through a huge library of lyrics in order to find what you want. The fact that it saves the lyrics to be used offline later on is an excellent idea and certainly very useful.
Overall, this is a brilliant piece of software that is perfect for anyone who often searches for the lyrics to the music they listen to.
