The lyrics for the song have to be available directly in the music fil,; DesktopLyrics does not fetch lyrics on its own. If you don't want to type in all your lyrics manually you can use an application like "iFetchLyrics", "Lyrics Finder", or "Get Lyrical".

i am student and i've tested DesktopLyrics at a friend's Macbook. Of all the apps, utilities, and programs I have ever used, this one takes the cake for highest level of perfection. Somebody has totally obsessed over this, getting everything right, down to the smallest detail, as if the fate of the universe depended upon it. If you are at all tech-oriented, you are going to be impressed with the level of detail and sheer amount information they have managed to pack into DesktopLyrics. It's of course far more information than you are likely to need, perfectionism is not a game for the practical.

Use it. Love it. Recommend it. Works great. Excellent developer support. A lot of lyric apps work for a while but go south over time. This one has the feature set I need, and it gets the updates that keep it working year to year. 5 stars.
