Saberu Posted August 24, 2007 at 09:57 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 at 09:57 PM Hey guys I noticed there wasn't a searchable Pinyin Lyrics website out there so thought I'd make one. It's got quite a lot of lyrics on it at the moment but I plan to add more anyway http://www.pinyinlyrics.net Comments welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinlearner83 Posted August 28, 2007 at 12:27 AM Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 at 12:27 AM Good site. I found it a bit hard to find things (maybe put characters and pinyin for all but the lyrics?), but it seems as though the search worked well. It might be more approachable with the characters for people who want to search for songs they don't know the pinyin for. There's certainly a lot there!

atitarev Posted August 28, 2007 at 12:57 AM Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 at 12:57 AM Thanks, good effort but there are many things to work on. It's not just Pinyin as there are some romanised Cantonese songs, please advise when it's the case. Pinyin lyrics don't have tone marks or numbers. It would be good to have the lyrics in Hanzi as well (on the same page, perhaps). I also noticed that when you open lists, they are not sorted alphabetically.

Saberu Posted August 28, 2007 at 11:37 AM Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 at 11:37 AM Thanks for the tips guys, glad you like the site. Just fixed the lists so they are alphabetical as that was the easiest tweak to make and I was a bit silly not doing that to begin with I thought about adding Hanzi translations for all the lyrics but it's a daunting task as there is a lot there to do but I'll try and do as many as I can, maybe some everyday. I will definitely be adding character translations for artist, album and song names too and in that order so you will see all the artists translated first as theres less to do there. As for the Cantonese songs, I'll add a key like [粤语 -Cantonese] to the end of each one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonvhen Posted August 29, 2007 at 11:05 PM Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 at 11:05 PM Nice site. One suggestion is to also include the original Chinese texts along side with the pinyin lyrics. This way it is easier to read. Something like karazen.com or amw168.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atitarev Posted September 11, 2007 at 12:34 AM Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 at 12:34 AM See, you don't have to convert, just search on the original lyrics. Baidu is very rich on lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
