Description matrem 2010-01-05 16:57:08 UTC 
I also post it here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/501316

Steps :
- Activate the lyrics plugin
- Provide a lyric folder (in lyric plugin configuration)
- Play a song whose lyrics can be found on the net
=> A .lyric file is written (with ISO-... encoding) with good lyrics
=> Lyric window don't display anything other than the cursor

Workaround :
- Open the .lyric file with gedit
- Save with utf8 encoding
=> Lyric window will display good lyrics

It appears to be an upstream bug ...
Comment 2 Jonathan Matthew 2010-01-09 21:43:07 UTC 
What are you referring to when you say 'upstream'?
Comment 3 matrem 2010-01-10 15:21:27 UTC 
I don't know it's what they said on ubuntu launchpad (please follow the first link).
Comment 4 Victor Vargas 2010-06-14 21:10:44 UTC 
Am not sure but I am facing a similar behavior using terra.com.br as source for download lyrics. For example:

Stone Cold Crazy - Metallica

Sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning
I was dreaming I was Al Capone
Rumor going 'round, gotta clear outta town
Smelling like a dry fish bone
