As seen in my last commits, the plugin has implemented a bunch of websites and is able to load in MusicBee. I have a few minor issues left before the first binary release. I will also setup a project in my bug tracker at http://bugs.engine.cubeisland.de to track feature requests and problems.

for v2.2 of MB I am planning make the lyrics queries multi-threaded so you may have 2 or more running at the same time.
From what i have seen of your code i dont think that would be a problem but just something to note for future sites you add

nice to hear, I was about to request that. Yes, I designed the plugin with thread-safety in mind. all objects are either immutable or stateless

@DPeichl: Try going into 'Tags (2)' and checking 'ignore diacritic marks when searching' perhaps? It's worth a shot, at least.
I already had "ignore diacritic marks when searching" checked.  It had no effect on lyrics retrieval, but that's preferable to the other issue anyway.  I'd rather get no lyrics at all than lyrics from the wrong song.

I'll try quick_wango's new version and see if that's any better.    Since it's written in a language I actually understand, I might want to join the development effort when I have time.  ...with Wango's permission, of course.

I hate to join this forum just to complain.  I really do love Music Bee and use it a lot.

At any time :) since I started my new job there is so little time for my private projects, so any help here is welcome

Would be great if MB could display the specific lyrics provider name when fetched from one of the sources with this plugin, instead of just displaying "MusicBee Plugin".

Is there any chance of updating the lyric plugin to ignore anything in "( )" or "[ ]" or something? Pretty much any track that has "(feat. *)" in it, the plugin can't find lyrics. The only solution is to temporarily rename the track and remove the "(feat. *)", search for lyrics, then add it back in which is very redundant and not good for mass-updating an entire album.

Maybe the plugin can search with it, but if it doesn't find, it re-does the search getting rid of anything that has "(feat. *)" or "ft. *" or "[*]" or something like that.

Something similar has been mentioned before. I just created this issue to keep track of the feature. Please add feedback to the issue in case I misunderstood you.

Edit: Ops, totally thought this was my thread... Anyways, I doubt this plugin will be updated, so referencing my reimplementation isn't that bad.
