Download and Embed lyrics into your music files. Based on Clementine's port of the Amarok Ultimate Lyrics Script.

The code design was taken from youtube-dl - each lyrics site lives in a separate file in cyril/providers/. There's also some tests that would ensure that each site is being scraped correctly.

I started writing this script on a weekend in August 2015 when I had lots of other important stuff to do - preparing for job interviews, completing a college project, finishing an online course and god knows what else. This stupid lyrics scraping script was my escape.
