Location of lyrics files
The plugin checks the following directories for lyrics files.

2. For each of the above directories, the plugin searches for a subdirectory named
“Lyrics”.
3. Finally, the plugin will search as above, but within a directory called “/Lyrics”.
The name of this directory can be customized, see below.
