Re: [Banshee-List] lyrics plugin (V1.5.5.0) never shows any lyrics

[Frank <funtastix googlemail com>]

Install from the Banshee Team PPA, it's always got the latest version
of Banshee and all the community extensions:

https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa

It contains basic instructions how to add the PPA and install from it
in Ubuntu. Use the synaptic tool instead of the software center.
