Research direction
Start by locating and reading the entry point that loads and decodes associated .lrc lyric files. Reproduce the issue with a GBK- or GB2312-encoded file and compare it with a UTF-8 file. Done means non-English lyrics display correctly in the lyrics view for the supplied encodings.
