And I thought I already had all the cool plugins, but here's one more: while you're playing music on Winamp or iTunes (or my personal favorite, QCD), EvilLyrics automatically searches for the lyrics on the net and displays them in a separate window. Yes, it's completely dependent on your tracks being correctly tagged and all, and you're going to get empty windows for relative obscurities, but still -- this is awfully cool. Right now I'm listening to a Guided By Voices concert (a not very good one from Hamburg in 2003, where Pollard sounds completely wasted) and the lyrics to almost all the songs are updated in real-time. (Too bad it obviously won't have his little intros -- "Listen to The Ballad of Guided By Voices, kids!" -- before going into "Don't Stop Now.")
