lyricwiki

  1. Number of monthly US visitors for licensed vs. unlicensed lyrics sites (data based on Quantcast): http://bit.ly/1y2v6C
  2. @mycoffeebreak eek! I should know better.. for many reasons including that I sit next to two native Swedes. Who is in your class then?
  3. @AddictedToSoda :( why the rage? The API situation?
  4. We're back. This is a recap of what happened: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.c...
  5. @mycoffeebreak is Basshunter in your class or something? also, yeah we're not fans of the right-click disabling. Requirement by Gracenote :(
  6. LyricWiki & all other Wikia sites r down.. 2 crazy-smart ops guys r taking 2 separate cabs driven by crazie cabbies to fix it.. go guys go!
  7. @febuiles it was certainly "nerfed". It's a little better now though: Fair-Use snippets were added today: http://is.gd/4GDKV
  8. An interesting genre for sure, but I'll bet we're missing a few artists: http://bit.ly/4gqiCN lil' help?
  9. @febuiles the encoding (should be on the page, not the API) is a licensing requirement from Gracenote.
  10. Somehow the second most popular page on LyricWiki (next to The Beatles) is The Protomen: http://bit.ly/3U89pF go figure!
  11. RT firstround: Wikia Acquires LyricWiki Database of Song Lyrics http://frc.vc/97
  12. @timstackhouse are you referring to the bug in the getArtist API call or the fact that the API isn't allowed to return lyrics anymore?
  13. @nishinomajo it certainly doesn't seem like one! :) I'm assuming the songs in that category have lyrics from both languages in one song
  14. @elo unfortunately API is still not coming back any time in the foreseeable future. Someday Wikia may b able to license that 2, but doubtful
  15. @jelleprins the licensing deal that Wikia has allows them to accept community contributions - we've contributed the whole thing! :)
  16. LyricWiki.org is kaput. Long live http://lyrics.wikia.com !
  17. @NYCScribbler just got an estimate of 4 hrs to import the rest of the data, unsure on the user-import. Good idea tho.. I'll give updates :)
  18. Big news! Check it out: http://bit.ly/CyIvu
  19. Been back for a little bit now.
  20. Datacenter outage. We wait :/
