It can be. I have seen some sites that gives bad encoded pages. Guayadeque ask the page content to be 'UTF-8' encoded but some servers ignore the request

Can you post a track that gives this result so I can test and fix it ?Lysias wrote:1) When lyrics are fetched from lyrics.wikia.com and the song is instrumental (an example song), a bunch of HTML code is grabbed along with the lyrics (well, along with the word "Instrumental"):
Instrumental
I put the span element in exclude but that didn't work.
2) Is it possible to grab lyrics from sites where all the lyrics for an album are on the same page? For example, darklyrics.com. I tried, but didn't manage to scrape the lyrics.

If you don't want Guayadeque to look into files then just uncheck Embedded from the sources.camaron wrote:The google search button can be great help; here is another sugestion: a "translate" option, that would send the text to google translate. I for once would use that!!
Another thing: many songs have embeded some text (not found or an url) from when there wasn't so many search option. Because guayadeque first looks into the files (and this is how it should be) if it finds something it doesn't keep searching. I wonder if there could be some kind of fix for this. A possible solution could be that the "search lyrics" button doesn't actually look into the files as this is done automatically anyway.
Edit: thinking of it the translate option could be even better: send the ful lyric to google translate as default or whatever piece of text is highlighted.
