Jamendo Song ID

[Nikolaj Hald Nielsen]

Actually, if a song from Jamendo has lyrics, they will be present in
full in the XML file I am using for the Jamendo service. This means we
could just write the lyrics to a text file for each track when
downloading an album without having to do additional queries.
