is that Charlyrics fails me with the accents, I don't know if it could be fixed, I have spoken with the support of the application and they have sent me here.
Now I don't know what you are talking about--"fails me"--"the accents"--"fix" what?  Here is a screenshot showing Chartlyrics working just fine for LyricsReloaded;  see the Lyrics Source tag at the borrom:

There aren't any accents in those lyrics.

The funny characters are because the text is being sent in ASCII instead of Unicode.  If you have the radio station added to your radio list, right-click and "Edit" the entry and check the box "stream uses ascii encoding."

The image you posted is from chartlyrics.com.  They don't "stream."  If the text metadata sent by a radio station is in ASCII, these characters also sometimes show in the Artist or Track text if they include characters with umlauts and so forth, e.g. ä, ö, ü

I have been told that it is an error of the page, not of the program, it cannot be solved.

If you look on the thread where you double-posted this you'll see hiccup sent you a link showing Chartlyrics has the bad characters on their own website;  MusicBee was just displaying what it got sent.  You could hit the faint "correct this lyric" link on top and fix 'em all yourself for future users!

@slonopot:  I started drawing zero lyrics from Metal Archives--here or from the Foobar plugins.  Went to the website and found out they have added a damn captcha that is stopping searches (can they do that even from API?):



Anything you can do to work around this?

That indeed seems very easy to do.
Let's see if catalonia is willing to put some effort into this himself.

It's a generic cloudflare challenge, it's a thing if cloudflare deems you a bot. In general, these are bypassed for APIs since it just silently breaks the service functionality, but as Metal Archives is not good, they may have never even though of that.

Try opening this directly, you should see no challenge. If you see a challenge, pass it and try from incognito. If you see it in incognito, reboot your router to change your IP and try again. Repeat until you can just open the link and see the results. There's no easy bypass for that.

Perhaps you could contact Metal Archives about this?
If they are sympathetic towards MusicBee users being able to retrieve their lyrics, perhaps they can make some adjustments to their API or something?
Or maybe they can clarify what they have setup for limiting queries per hour or something? Maybe they have IP ban time periods?

edit:
hmm, isn't this off-topic?
Wouldn't this better be discussed in slonopot's plugin thread?

Hi I noticed that this plugin uses the "lyrics" tag to embed the lyrics into files, is there any way to make it use "unsyncedlyrics" instead? I am using genius as a source, I am also using FLAC and m4a files.
