mpdlrc
======

Print timed lyrics from an LRC file for MPD's currently playing song
line-by-line to `stdout`: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LRC_%28file_format%29>

Needs `Net::MPD` and a few core Perl packages. Expects to find lyrics named
`Artist - Title.lrc` in `~/.lyrics`.

This code is not great. It will be improved. It needs to be more configurable
from environment variables or options, for one thing.

This could maybe be used with `libnotify` or a similar desktop notification
tool to display lyrics in a corner as you work on other things. I've included a
simple Bash wrapper around `notify-send(1)` which works for me.

An LRC file I made for Darkthrone's "To Walk The Infernal Fields" from their
1993 album "Under a Funeral Moon" is included for testing.
