I'm not sure if this should go into off topic, but I'll post it here and the mods can banish me to off topic if they so deem.
I have written an applescript to load all Morrissey and Smiths lyrics into my iTunes songs. I've done so for my own benefit, partly because I enjoy writing scripts and partly because I don't feel like cutting and pasting 250 times. However I am rather pleased with the way it has turned out, and I'm happy to share it with anyone else who wants it.
What makes my script different to the others out there is that it uses Passions database, so even the obscure songs are easy to find, and it imports the lyrics with Stéphane's corrections, neat layout and meticulous accuracy. You can only use it for Morrissey and Smiths tunes.
Basically you select a track in iTunes, call or play the script, and it asks you to match the song to Stephane's option. It does guess for you, but the manual confirmation is in case there are slight differences with your naming convention and his. (eg Spring-Heeled Jim or Springheeled Jim or Springheeled Jim live etc) I'd hate it to automatically decide for you and make errors.
If you'd like to give it a spin, you must be using OSX (I'd recommend 10.4, since that's what I've tested it on, but 10.3.9 will probably work too), you must be using iTunes (once again, I'm using 7.0.2) and it would be preferable if you know how to call an applescript from your script menu bar or run it from your desktop.
Drop me a PM if you would like a copy of the script. I'll also try to post up some snapshots.
