Intone and lyrics with album art;)

[c_c]

Hi,
  Let me first thank you for taking the time to suggest improvements to this
part of intone. I was getting the feeling that maybe people hardly used
these features - particularly the lyrics view.

  Well, that is a limitation. I was working on the concept that the songs
would be organised in directories by album - so the cover art would remain
the same for all songs in a directory. 
  For a directory filled with mixed songs - I will need to get the album
name from the tags (if the file is tagged) and then look for the album art
in some predefined directory based on the tag. Seemed like a lot of work to
do at that time :-)
  I'll try and do something like the above when I find some free time.

  That it is. Unfortunately, hidden widgets in elementary still occupy
space. Hence I need to delete them, and then add them again when needed. If
you find a better way - do let me know.
  I can read the next file into a large buffer and copy from there on song
change. But that might play up with the memory. I'll try that and see how it
goes.

  Done. Try the attached binary below.

  Well, I like the idea and am willing to implement it. Only - are there
lyrics files available in the subtitle formats? And which format do I
support? I can use either the .srt/.sub/mplayer formats.
  Thanks for the suggestions and ideas though.
