I've tested some saved lyrics (lrc format) on ESlyric and have no problem, including synced ones. Both lyric components use foobar configuration folder for storage on default, so it should load automatically. Displaying it should never change the files but creating a backup never hurts :)

yeah i was messing with it, and i absolutely love the karaoke function, so now i'm going over all of my lyrics and having them synched for karaoke.
you wouldn't happen to know where i can just upload all of these, would you?
like some sort of lyric hub where people can just get the .lrc files auto downloaded for them?

so after using JAM 2 for a while i realized there was one thing that i think would make the experience a little more nice for people...
In the Library menu, in the Album Selection at the top middle of the UI. I think when you select an Album, it should focus on the 1st item in that album's selection in the tracks below.
Currently, when you select an album from that list, the track list doesn't move to any of the selected songs within the album, so it makes it hard to see a specific track without playing something first.
so if there is a way to put that together, i think that would be really great

ah yeah. that helps in the Now Playing tab, but that option isn't available in the Album section in the Library.
also I made some grouping formats, i don't know if these are useful to you or anyone but here.
since the default grouping/sorting sorts by artist i left that alone. it can probably be written better, but this works for me.
Title Only
Group Format: %title%
Sort Format: %title%(edited)
Title (ignoring The word "The")
Group Format: $swapprefix(%title%,The)
Sort Format: $swapprefix(%title%,The)
Album
Group Format: %album%
Sort Format: %album% - %discnumber% - %tracknumber% - %title%
Album (ignores the word "The")
Group Format: %album%
Sort Format: $swapprefix(%album%,The) - %discnumber% - %tracknumber% - %title%
Artist (ignores the letter A alone, and "The")
Group Format: %artist%
Sort Format: $swapprefix(%artist%,The,A) - %date% - %album% - %discnumber% - %track number% - %title%

So comparing to V1, the things i like:
- there's much more room to see everything (At least it feels like that)
- the lyrics show is much nicer when it comes to synced lyrics. it's small, but i like it
- i like the highlight info when you highlight a track.
- It also feels much smoother to work with!
things that are a little bothersome.
- while it's more room to see images like album art, the standard album art tends to show up as very cropped in the nowplaying view and when it's cropped off so much, i'd just prefer it to just have it stretched maintaining aspect ratio so most of it doesn't end up hiding behind the UI.
- other than that, i really like it!
at the same time, because i was so used to v1, i can still see myself going back to that for the sake of the UI style

Thank you so much for the review! I really appreciate it.
About the album art, I’ll tweak it for the next update. TBH I was focused more on the artist pic calculation (with each has unique size) on the last update, I spent my time less for the album art. With the majority of it has the same aspect ratio it should be easier to deal with.

Great skin, so good I bought it (at least) twice :D
I have tried for a couple of weeks now, but I seem unable to get album art to appear in the Now Playing or LIbrary sections (works fine in Artist Bio page though!?). Running in portable FB2K but also same issue with non-portable install(s).
Any help / pointers gratefully received :)
EDIT: Should add each album is in own folders with Folder.jpg being the album art. I can get album art to appear if it's embedded, but the increase in file sizes would be way too much.

I switched my e-store a couple months ago.
Reach me at jamfoobar[at]gmail.com with the email you used to purchase the skin.
this theme definitely looks stunning but i have several issues actually using it. how do i search/sort my library by album artist? if i can't, would you add that feature in the next update? also it seems that this does not switch back to shared mode even if i close the foobar2000(i'm using asio currently, and yes, i double checked the system tray, ye, it's gone for sure).

Thank you.
To add the Album Artist view, you can right-click on the "Library" root view on Library Tree panel -> select New View. You can use these parameters: https://imgur.com/FvXb7Ws
I'm not familiar with asio output, but I'll check it.
