The names might differ depending on what distro you're using. Installed Python and python-qt4 and python-qt3 packages.If this issue is fixed, MediaCommander would definitely be worth looking. Instead the author asks you to click the mouse on the appropriate time value, which is VERY hard when you need to set up time twice a second. MediaCommander is actually very good software, but it has a single drawback which makes it impossible to make any lyrics with it - there is no keyboard hotkey (at least I didn't find it, nor it is mentioned in the guide) to set the time for current syllable and move to the next one. I also checked VividLyrics (which didn't work at all for me as it did not want load MP3 audio), and MediaCommander. The closest to follow this guide would probably be MiniLyrics, but I found it inconvinient for creating lyrics, and I personally would not pay $19.99 for a program which does not fit my purposes.

This guide covers making lyrics under Linux using free software. For your first songs you might spend 3-4 hours per song, which is normal as you're getting used to the tools. This is also time-consuming process - a single song needs to be listened to at least twice (usually more than that), and this means that you should plan to spend at least 10 minutes per song even when you're mastered it.

It is a specially formatted separate file with the same file name as the music file, and. Its size is also much smaller, and typically is 3-10Kb comparing to average 1.5Mb CD-G. Being text-based, it also allows easy modification of content, including text and timings - something nearly impossible with CD-G.

This guide explains how to create text lyrics in LRC format to use with karaoke files. 2.2 Adding/fixing tags in the music file.1 How to create karaoke with LRC lyrics.
