src/projectM-iTunes-VizKit/source/mac/getLyrics.applescript

-- Write lyrics of current audio track into file.
-- Simply executing script with osascript did not work with Mac OS X 10.4 
-- (directing output into file via command line shell did not work with right-to-left languages).
-- In case the script reports something like: Expected expression but found unknown token. (-2741),
-- chances are that Xcode messed up the UTF-8 encoding of the file 
-- (we need left and right pointing double angle quotation mark around "class utf8").
-- Best is to edit script file getLyrics.applescript in Scripteditor application of AppleScript.
