Thanks for the report Luciano, that works fine on karmic , could you please try the same with that version? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't work fine neither in 0.12.5 on Karmic, most of the covers are not found even if tags (title/artist/album) are correclty filled, it takes just a few seconds to find those covers on the net.
Lyrics are found but for several songs just enabling lyricwiki.org a very short excerpt is downoladed from that site (lyricwiki.org always provides very short excerpts), not enabling it you won't have any lyrics.
Try for instance this one: title>Bette Davis Eyes - artist>Kim Carnes - Album>Mistaken Identity, you won't see any cover and just a very small excerpt of its lyrics.
Those plugins need a serious fix.
