In this version:
Fixed a bug that caused the player to omit lyrics with certain, less common lyric file formats
In v2.50, some keyboard shortcuts would not work as expected when the playlist window was open. These shortcuts have been replaced with new ones that don't 'clash' with the playlist window - please consult the online help file included with the player to see which keyboard shortcuts have changed
In Internet Explorer 5.50, the browser plugin would occasionally jump back and forth indefinitely - not anymore
