Hello,

I am currently not active with Elisa project.
I am redirecting your email to the elisa mailing list.

As a partial answer, I can confirm that no lyrics are fetched online.
From my memory, if they are part of the metadata, they would probably show up. I do not remember if they are going to be read from external files like album cover images.
