Script for playing first 8-10 seconds of selected song???
Does anyone know of a script that will play the first 8-12 seconds of the selected song in a library or playlist and automatically go to the next song in the library or playlist and begin playing it and so on? I want this script to save me tons of time getting lyrics (more accurately). I use Album Art Thingy 1.3 to retrieve lyrics and it does a very good job, at least better than the other 10 or so scripts and/or programs that I've tried. I'd say it's at least 95% accurate if not better. The problem is that once you open and run it, you have to manually advance it to the next song as the song has to be playing to retrieve the lyrics. It finds lyrics in as little as 3 seconds and usually by 12 seconds. If I had this script I could start with the first song and let it go. I have about 8,600 songs in my library so as you can see this would save me time from having to sit there and manually advance the songs. I could just let it run overnight.
Thanks to anyone who might be able to help in advance.

Hi there, this script will do exactly what you require - it is called Needle Drop and you can specify how long each track needs to play for and then just let it run.
Used in conjunction with lyric hunting software I find I can set it to 5 seconds or so and just leave it.
