Rhythmbox downloads the wrong lyrics

[discord]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I guess the database it uses is not very good for this task.

Ok let me restate the problem. Rythmbox does not download the
appropriate lyrics for the songs that I am playing. This is because
the database it uses for the song does not contain the music.
Therefore it displayed something else (closest match maybe) Anyways
the cd I was playing was called common market. I am not sure this is a
bug or not but since it does show the improper lyrics maybe it is. A
feedback system for the lyrics might be effective.

There is an upstream bug about that: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358313

[eZtaR (eztar-dk)]

It is often not a problem with a lack of lyrics, often it's a problem with the plugin simply fetching the wrong lyrics. This mainly happens when there are "weird characters" in the title or artistname, f.ex. when i try to download lyrics from "Mevãdio - Walk with me"(which i know exists on leoslyrics, which rythmbox utilizes quite often, because i've added them myself a long time ago), it gives me "Dio - Walk On Water".

This could be avoided by giving the user the opportunity to chose, which of the search results to use as lyrics, like in the original leos lyrics plugin for winamp.

This is now fixed in karmic with the update of rhythmbox to version 0.12.3-1ubuntu1. Closing the bug.
