I tried running it on my Linux box, but I didn't have id3lib. I just downloaded it, but it doesn't compiile for me:

frame_impl.h:76: instantiated from here
In file included from frame.cpp:34:
../include/id3/id3lib_bitset:791: `__STL_THROW' undeclared (first use this function)
../include/id3/id3lib_bitset:791: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
../include/id3/id3lib_bitset:791: for each function it appears in.)
../include/id3/id3lib_bitset: In method `bool bitset<24,long unsigned int>::_Unchecked_test<24, long unsigned int>(unsigned int) const':
../include/id3/id3lib_bitset:793: instantiated from `bitset<24,long unsigned int>::test<24, long unsigned int>(unsigned int) const'

I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to try lyrics as I don't yet have any tagged songs. I'd run XMMS, but my Linux box is just a file server, no X libs.
