Subject: fetch lyrics using mediawiki API
I found other way to get lyrics from lyricwiki. Example: http://lyrics.wikia.com/api.php? action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Nightwish:Sleepwalker&rvprop=content&format=xml I think this is more clean way than current.

Ah, that is indeed a lot cleaner! I'll try to get a new version out soon. Sorry for the ridiculous delay answering this - I'm just going through rt.cpan.org and found this ticket, I don't recall seeing the new ticket mail come through before. I'll leave the ticket open until I've changed the module to use the API.

As an example of API usage you could see rhythmbox lyric plugin which I implemented some time ago: http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php?action=content&content=132647

I think the API method will only get the first line of the lyrics due to licensing restrictions, shame though.
