Get_iTunes_Lyrics 1.0

What does it do: It (tries to) puts the lyrics of the current track of iTunes in a window so you can read it as you listen to the song. What does not do: It does not put the lyrics into your iTunes. Why, may be next release if there is demand for it. What do you need: You need Growl, and you can get it here <http://growl.info>. It will *not* work without Growl. You will only get errors. Growl is a cool application anyway and it is free. So just download it and enjoy. Once you install it, make sure that you uncheck 'Limit 2-5 lines' on the 'Display Options'. To dismiss the dialog you have to click on it. This is due to a decision of the developers of Growl, and they hold the upper hand. For this first release everything works fine with English lyrics, it might have problems with lyrics in other languages. Mostly languages that have non-ASCII characters or diacritics. Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, Greek, etc are not here thanks to my ignorance. If you want to help me, then, let me know, salary is not that great... :)
