I had been using "Gimmesometunes" to fetch the lyrics & album art for the songs playing in itunes. But due to the problem with the lyricwik API thingie, the lyrics at not added now. Is there any alternative?

I want an app that:
*fetches Album Art
*fetches lyrics & adds them to itunes automatically
*allow me to control itunes with keyboard shortcuts [play/pause,skip,assign ratings etc.]

Basically an alternative to the awesome gimmesometunes

I am in the same boat, and I haven't found a good alternative to Gimmesometunes for lyrics yet. For the album art, you can check out Coverscout.

There is, the defunct, pearLyrics that you might be able to grab and use. I've been playing with this to see if it will at least get the lyrics. There's a way of running iTunes, pearLyrics and an applescript to basically play every song in your library for abotu 15-20 seconds so that pearLyrics can grab the lyrics over night..

Regards
