FYI: we have a simple API I quickly hacked up for another plugin prior to going on vacation It returns both the lyric and cover.

Alexandr: If you still have the code, try just adding 'rawutf8=1' to the request, and you'll get it in raw utf-8, no html entities or html linebreaks.

I've pushed it to trunk, should work, but will be nice if someone will test it a little bit more cause I don't have this kind of music

Nice job, just grabbed the trunk version and seems to work fine with songs with foreign characters, etc :)
