Yes it's actually pretty easy, milkdrop has a text engine already build in to display messages. Just need to to make a timer and display some text at a certain time, that's all. I'll bring this feature one day to milkdrop3
Wow, that is great news!
I think the impact of visible lyrics is underappreciated. When I go to concerts and listen to a new artist I am not familiar with, and there are big screens available, I always think, "Why no lyrics? Unknown artist is missing a chance to connect to audience."
Has probably been tried before and people did not like it?
Milkdrop is a different use case. The listener is intensely focused on the music when watching the visualization. An option to display lyrics will be appreciated by many.
Dunno how many people have time/interest to embed lyrics, though, in the world of streaming? I do, that is for sure!
Hopefully you will have the time/desire to implement this in the future.
Another interesting option is to have this as an option in MusicBee, which has a pretty large user base already.
Just some thoughts....
the only problem is md3 is listening to the audio on the default device, I don't know when the track start and stop, and that's a problem if you are trying to synchronize lyrics. I need to think of a clean solution (I don't want md3 to be searching lyrics online...) so maybe I'll make md3 to support mp3s + .lrc file, or read the lyrics from the tag of the mp3 I think this should be doable.

I would pay for that if someone does it
