Known bugs:
- In Amarok 2.0.2 configuration gui doesn't work.
  If Amarok crash (not likely) use this command to
overcome crashing: rm
~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/ultimate_lyrics/configure.js
  Defaults settings can be changed with: gedit
~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/ultimate_lyrics/settings.js
  If amarok still crash (unknown case) use this
command to remove script: rm -rf
~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/ultimate_lyrics/
- In Amarok 2.1.x when a song is played again
Amarok calls a function connected to
Amarok.Lyrics.fetchLyrics twice, which results in
skipping firstly matched site in rotating mode.

Notice:
- It's suggested to turn off other lyric scripts
like default lyricswiki
- File cache can use "a lot of" hd space. Tens
(maybe hundreds) of MB. To escape using too much
space clear cache occasionally, or do not enable
caching for every site.
- Serially web sites change themselves, which can
cause the script stops working for that site.
  Script adaptations are required when a site
changes its "template".

  - Improved displaying (escapes some encoded
chars)
