#7 Crash on XML parse error

Whenever I tried to play a certain song using xmms both
xmms and the lyrc window disappeared while the music
continued to play. I then took a closer look at the
corresponding file in ~/.lyrics/ and found that it
contained that line:

<instrumental>

Of course, it should have been &lt;instrumental&gt;
because the XML parser thought this was intended to be
a tag. Maybe you could try to make the parser more
fault-tolerant and prevent the crashing of the
application. Or you could enforce the encoding of these
special characters before storing them in an XML file.

Regards,
Michael
