Good idea. The lyrics did not show up, indicating its probably something in the mp3.
Here's the info winamp shows for my mp3..:
Size: 2622809 bytes
Header found at: 405 bytes
Length: 164 seconds
MPEG 1.0 layer 3
128kbit, 6289 frames
44100Hz Joint Stereo
CRCs: No
Copyrighted: No
Original: Yes
Emphasis: None

..and this was the info on the Unwell mp3:

Size: 3661824 bytes
Header found at: 1628 bytes
Length: 229 seconds
MPEG 1.0 layer 3
128kbit, 8778 frames
44100Hz Stereo
CRCs: No
Copyrighted: Yes
Original: Yes
Emphasis: None


quick comparison shows Joint Stereo and Copyrighted attributes as varying.
I found mp3s which used normal stereo and not "joint stereo" encoding...renamed unwell's lrc again and retried..didnt work

Tried again with another mp3 which had Yes for Copyrighted, but was Joint Stereo..didnt work..

I didnt have any mp3s which exactly matched all the properties of the Unwell mp3. So couldnt conduct the only remaining test..head-to-head

damn feature just refuses to work!
thanks for sticking thru with this..
