Hello, I have this problem too, that is why I can't update this program.
This is my post for help

Hi!
First I would like to say "thank you" for your effort of writing such a great addon for Amarok - my favorite KDE music app!
However I have a little problem... my system locate is zh_TW.Big5, and my music collection have mp3 tag v2.4 in UTF8, when I try to fetch lyrics using Lyrics_CN, I always get "Lyrics for track not found" message...
Wondering if you can give me some hints on this problem?
Again, thanks for your greate script!
I tested under big5 environment, but not sufficiently. Please give me two information.
1.make sure your amarok is playing, and the track's tag is Traditional Chinese, then type in console "dcop amarok player title" and "dcop amarok player artist", give me the two result.
2.in console type "python", in python-console-mode, type:
import locale #return
print locale.getdefaultlocale()
then give me the result
Thanks

Thanks!!
Yes.
Open the source,and find line 274-281, delete them(include 274 and 281),and add:
user_locale=('zh_CN','utf8')
or
user_locale=('zh_TW','utf8')
Just cheat computer :)
rather, it did not work. then I modified all user_locale[0]=='zh_CN' with 'en_US', still it did not work. I have no python or perl programming experience. well, I suppose you may consider us chinese who prefer english environment. thanks a lot.
A KDialog to ask for encodings? Wow... thanks lol.
Thanks for improving our chinese Amarok experience
I can't wait for the next version XD
One more question... i know all of my items on the playlist
are encoded fully in unicode only. I've personally seen to
that so that i can read it anywhere else.
I've a title that was mistakenly taken as a english song.

Is there any way around that?

in addition to that, among the 4 links, (baidu, sohu etc) none of them can find it but i'd try to do it manually. and they were there.
It crashed with the error above when i tried to use the one with lyrc.com.ar
I see you are traditional Chinese user, so you have to use hk.music.yahoo to fetch Jacky's song though it's English song. I will fix this error.
Of course you can use baidu to fetch lyrics, but baidu returns you Simplified-Chinese lyrics, do you really want even you are a Traditional-Chinese user? To ensure the lyrics you fetch is according with user's locale, I hide the baidu sohu etc engine under zh_TW.* locale.
I know why you can't find lyrics of "I don't wanna be", because in the title have a "'", in English song it's ok.I do not have such song, so I ignored this problem.
I've limited capabilities to type in chinese, a lot of my songs are a mix of traditional and simplified chinese that i've gotten from online sources. My system locale itself is english.
Everything in there is in unicode since my other players(with different system locales) can read it. I've edited the script to skip the check for user_locale. Although I can read both traditional and simplified, I feel more comfortable with the simplified one.
so the problem is due to the "apostrophe" character? hmmm... will renaming the title work for it?
I remember, you had left a comment on my blog, :)
you can read the source,14 and 15 lines,I did not consider this problem about chinese songs have " ' " in title, so 15 line is "pass", infact after+='%27' is better, then it could find the right url. I have tried, but have difficult in show lyrics because of complex colons matching, maybe use xml is better.
Maybe next version I will add Simplified search engine under Traditional locale and add a line by line lrc show module or 0.4.1 is final
Sorry for this late reply xP
I've tried using after+=%27, at least it doesn't crash now. But it's not retrieving the lyrics as it should... baidu returns something like server is not reachable. Might try it out later on again.
Thanks for everything XD

I am using en_US.UTF-8 and cannot use your script just because of Amarok says that it do not support the locale. can you deal with it?
Yes. Open the source,and find line 274-281, delete them(include 274 and 281),and add: user_locale=('zh_CN','utf8') or user_locale=('zh_TW','utf8') Just cheat computer :)

No no, just del line 274-281, and replaced by "user_locale=('zh_CN','utf8').It's OK, I tested. not user_locale[0]=xxxxx Otherwise, you can mail me
