I did something similar to this a year or two ago (http://www.lyricfuser.com)

I'm not sure how you guys are scraping the lyrics, but almost all of the large lyric sites ended up blocking my server's IP. You should do this in Javascript if possible to avoid getting blocked. Looks great though!



not sure if it fits you but there _are_ options to avoid scraping the lyrics sites, e.g. http://musixmatch.com/


Never knew about this - thanks!!
