Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  I purchased the album Lungs by Florence + the Machine from AmazonMP3.
  The first time I downloaded it, I tried pyMazon.  It worked well, but
  as I started listening to the album in Banshee, I noticed some noise
  distortion after I listened to a song or two (sort of like squeeks,
  listen to attached mp3).  I quit Banshee and tried to listen to some
  of the songs in Totem.  The ones that had squeeked in Banshee, also
  squeeked in Totem, but others that I hadn't played using Banshee
  worked fine.  I thought maybe a file or two had been corrupted during
  download, so I re-opened Banshee and started playing the rest of the
  album.  Low and behold, some of the songs that had just played fine in
  Totem now had squeeks in Banshee.  When I quit Banshee and opened the
  same song in Totem, it now had the squeeks there also.

  Now I started thinking maybe I had *somehow* missed the squeeks the
  first time listening in Totem and that the entire album had been
  corrupted somehow during download with pyMazon.  Unfortunately, I
  hadn't had a chance to make a back-up of the files and now they ALL
  had squeeks in them.  Forunately, I got the AmazonMP3 store to re-open
  the download for me.  I deleted the original (now corrupted) album.
  This time I downloaded using the actual AmazonMP3 installer (for
  Windows) via Wine (since I can't get AmazonMP3's native downloader to
  work with Lucid).

  After re-downloading the album, I made a back-up of the files right
  away.  I started by opening a bunch of the songs individually in Totem
  and Rhythmbox.  They had no squeeks, so I chalked up my problem to a
  corrupted download from pyMazon.  However, today I wanted to listen to
  the album again, so again I opened Banshee.  The first song played
  fine.  The second song (one which I'm confident I had checked in
  Rhythmbox and Totem just a few days ago) started squeeking.  I quit
  Banshee and opened up the file in Totem, and it squeeked there too!!

  I then ran md5sums on the original and the back-up of the song that
  squeeks and a song I'm positive I haven't played yet in Banshee ("09 -
  Cosmic Love.mp3" is the song that squeeks):

  jonathan@jonathan-laptop:~/Music/Amazon MP3/Florence + The Machine/Lungs$ md5sum "09 - Cosmic Love.mp3"
  261ab6c0b58811a41706001c8874f00c  09 - Cosmic Love.mp3

  jonathan@jonathan-laptop:~/Downloads/Florence + The Machine/Lungs$ md5sum "09 - Cosmic Love.mp3"
  00da0f56c209d65ec25fe2397c088a53  09 - Cosmic Love.mp3

  jonathan@jonathan-laptop:~/Music/Amazon MP3/Florence + The Machine/Lungs$ md5sum "12 - Blinding.mp3"
  9280f68424d5d132830b559041ed8ca3  12 - Blinding.mp3

  jonathan@jonathan-laptop:~/Downloads/Florence + The Machine/Lungs$ md5sum "12 - Blinding.mp3"
  9280f68424d5d132830b559041ed8ca3  12 - Blinding.mp3

  What the hell?

  If you want to hear it, listen to the attached excerpts.

  I'm using the default Banshee 1.6.0-1 packaged with Ubuntu 10.04
  64-bit with plugins: application indicator, lyrics, ubuntu one music
  store, wikipedia, audio cd, audiobooks, file system preview, internet
  radio, play queue, podcasts, ipod support, karma support, mass storage
  media player support, mtp media player support, internet archive,
  last.fm, bookmarks, bpm, cover art, daap, importers for amarok etc,
  library watcher, multimedia keys

  I also have the boxes checked (in Edit->Preferences): Write Metadata
  to files, Write ratings and play counts to files.  Perhaps the problem
  is related to those 2 boxes?

  I also think it may have something to do with the "+" symbol in either
  the Artist ID3 tag or the file path.  I have played other music in
  Banshee in the last couple of days and this seems to be the only album
  affected that I've found.

  Regardless, I definitely think this is a major bug.  Please let me
  know what more information I can provide.  My Banshee application also
  intermittently starts to freeze/hang occasionally.  I think it was
  actually doing that when I was playing one of the songs that ended up
  getting squeeks in it earlier.

  TEST CASE (for banshee-community-extensions lucid SRU):
  1. Backup a music file (it should not contain lyrics in it, verify with id3v2 -l)
  2. Start Banshee (with lyrics extension enabled)
  3. Turn off the "Write metadata to files" option.
  4. Play the music file, and view the lyrics to make sure it is loaded.
  5. Check that the music file is unchanged (lyrics should still not be present using id3v2 -l)
