Looks good and if I didn't already have the non-cloud version of Master Writer I'd say this is great find.

Master Writer was already cloud-only by the time I found it. The primary difference between the Mac and PC implementations is that Rhyme Genie plugs into TuneSmith with very tight integration. On the PC, it's two separate apps, but they have implemented a usable method for connecting them.

I like that it lets you know who you're ripping off. The cliché dictionary is going to be handy, too. Seriously, how many great lyrical starts have you abandoned because you had one great line and couldn't think up a second? I've been struggling with this one: "You are the salsa in my taco". Sure, "cilantro" is the obvious rhyme, but that's too easy.

I tried a number of different lyric writing apps, and found the Rhyme Genie/TuneSmith to be clearly the best, especially for the price ($24.95)! Right-click on the image and "open image in new tab" for higher resolution. When searching for rhymes, you can select multiple choices and paste them into TS with a single click. From there, you can insert them into your lyrics. If you are submitting songs for purchase/license, TS's Pitch Journal and Creative Talent features are priceless. And TS is FREE, with a paid license for RG!

Hmm. It didn't suggest jalapeño as a rhyme for taco? Seems more thematically relevant.

But it does?!?! Without the 'ñ', but it was in the 4th column (four syllables).

Just wondering...if your target language is Spanish, do you really need a rhyming dictionary? It's gotta be one of the easiest languages for rhyming. Not an expert, but I'm thinking Korean and Japanese might be relatively rhyme-rich, too. Question for all the polyglots out there: what language is harder to rhyme than English?

Fleer Ich bin von Barcelona.
Barça! Big fan of the Messi, Neymar Jr. and Suarez triumvirate! Meine Familie stammt aus Pommern im Bereich der polnischen Grenze. Sie haben zwischen 1845 und 1865 durch Kanada an den Vereinigten Staaten ausgewandert. Einer meiner Großmutter war in den U.S. geboren, aber sprach nur Deutsch bis Sie 14 Jahre alt war. Wer bin ich? Leider, manchmal weiß ich nicht.

Sorry I missed to joke! Fawlty Towers is awesome. I have the entire series, what little there was of it! John Cleese is an amazing individual. Totally unrelated to comedy, his business videos were uniformly excellent.

Copied from the RIP Quicktime thread: I've been in contact with Idolumic today. After uninstalling QT, TuneSmith throws up a couple of error messages (24U SimpleSound extension can't load; and then a second one prompting for a QT download). Deleting or renaming the extension (SimpleSound.fmx.renamed) in TuneSmith's Extensions folder gets rid of the first error message (that was thrown by the extension), but the second (thrown by TS) remains. I'll update when I know more.

TuneSmith has been updated. It's still v5.5 on the website, but it let's you disable the audio recording function. You do need to manually delete/rename the SimpleSound.fmx plugin in TS's Extensions folder.

Does that take care of the QT issue (so you can avoid installing QT)?

Yes it does. The SimpleSound extension required QT. TuneSmith required SimpleSound. Renaming the extension obviously keeps it from loading, so no need for QT. The patch to TS allows it to disable its audio recording features, so it doesn't throw up an error message when SimpleSound can't be found (I didn't even need Rhyme Genie for that one!). For me, at least, TS loads faster now! The update steps I would have followed, had I known better (would have gone smoother): 1: Make a backup with your current version of TS, to make sure you catch any changes. 2: Copy your Rhyme Genie serial number to the clipboard and install the update. 3: Run TuneSmith and reauthorize with RG's serial number. 4: Accept TS's offer to delete the sample data and load your backup. 5: Restart TS and verify that your backup loaded correctly. NOTE: I don't know if it was me, from earlier, or if there's a slight bug in TS, but I had a single blank entry in the first position in Creative Talent, Song Catalog and Pitch Journal (the second Pitch Journal entry was also blank, due to the fact that I haven't used it yet). I suspect that when TS deleted the sample data, it only deleted the data and not the database entries. I'm going to report this to Idolumic and see what they say. Not a big deal. You just need to delete them, and you're good to go. UPDATE: Here's the response I received from Idolumic: That is actually an entry that is automatically created if none exists. TuneSmith needs at least one record to execute certain scripts. It generally only occurs when you choose to delete the sample data but do not enter a serial number in the next dialog right away. TuneSmith then creates an empty record. You can also verify this by deleting all your entries. A dialog will inform you that a ‘new’ empty record has been created.
