banshee-extension-lyrics is not available in Ubuntu 14.04. See bug #1268331 - "banshee-community-extensions demoted to -proposed, not ready for gtk3"

Can you suggest any solution to solve this problem.. – raz May 08 '14 at 18:07
Someone has to port it to gtk3. If you are not a developer, then you will have to wait for someone else to do the work. – bain May 08 '14 at 18:10
is there a way to attract developer attention on this matter?? – raz May 08 '14 at 18:16
The banshee developers have a mailing list http://banshee.fm/about/contact/ – bain May 08 '14 at 18:20

Check this script secLyricsForBanshee.sh, it is on the extras package that can be found at ScriptEchoColor.

Basically it shows the currently playing music lyrics on terminal, or with evince thru a temporary generated pdf file.

It also auto downloads the lyrics if they are missing.

I have installed Amarok in ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit. It can fetch lyric for music just fine. I know this is not the perfect solution, but until they fix the problem with banshee-extension-lyrics I am using Amarok as alternative. enter image description here

Can Amarok integrate the lyrics into the tags as the banshee lyrics extension does? – Joschua Jun 22 '14 at 17:33
do you mean, is amarok can automatically fetch the lyrics from internet?? – raz Jun 22 '14 at 17:42
No, I mean if Amarok can integrate the lyrics into the music file as metadata. Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3 or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorbis_comment – Joschua Jun 22 '14 at 17:54
Sorry I do not have any idea about it. – raz Jun 22 '14 at 18:17

For me the "old" package still works with Ubuntu 14.04 despite of error messages. However, having it installed, it "blocks" any updates until the lyrics extension is uninstalled again. That is not a desirable situation, so I have to following workaround: 1) install the "old" extension 2) start banshee (with the extension enabled) 3) uninstall the extension; banshee continues to work with the extension until you restart it

I automated this with the following script (start_banshee.sh):

#! /bin/bash
sudo dpkg --install ~/Downloads/banshee-extension-lyrics_2.4.0-2ubuntu1_all.deb
banshee > /dev/null 2>&1 &
sleep 20
echo Y | sudo apt-get -f install
