Description:
 A simple script to retrieve lyrics from
LyricWiki.org and display them on the Lyric tab of
the context browser. Now you can enjoy having
lyrics that can be fixed when incorrect!

As of v2.0 this script now utilizes the
LyricWiki.org SOAP API. In the short term this
means more reliable results in a shorter time
frame. In the long run (future versions) it means
being able to edit, update, or add lyrics and
albums to LyricWiki directly from Amarok.

Requires:
Amarok 1.4
Ruby 1.8
QtRuby (Optional)

Note: Kubuntu users should be able to install
QtRuby with the following command: 
sudo apt-get install libqt0-ruby1.8

Comments and suggestions are appreciated.
