There is one song file that is continuously being distorted to have the whole set of xml metadata to be included inside the <lyrics> ... </lyrics>,
where it replaces the <..> by &lt and &gt

Every time after having restored the original file to my SOngs folder, OpenSongApp modifies this file again an again, as far as I can see during the indexing.

The Settings/fileWriteActivity contains the following lines (see the bold lines below):

LoadSong Fix Songs/Android/Overig/LS 528 - U bent een vader die zingt en juicht over ons, Abba deleteOld=true
LoadSong fixSongs doStringWriteToFile Songs/Android/Overig/LS 528 - U bent een vader die zingt en juicht over ons, Abba with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<song>
<title>LS 528 - U bent een vader die zingt en juicht over ons, Abba</title>
<author>Eline Bakker / Kees Kraayenoord</author>
<copyright>Eline Bakker, Thankyou Music</copyright>

... etc ...

<notes>Opw 846 in F</notes>
<lyrics><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<song>
<title>LS 528 - U bent een vader die zingt en juicht over ons, Abba</title>
<author>Eline Bakker / Kees Kraayenoord</author>
<copyright>Eline Bakker, Thankyou Music</copyright>

I'll attach the whole fileWriteActivity, the original song file and the result after "fixSong"

Is there something wrong with my original Song file?

LS 528 - U bent een vader die zingt en juicht over ons, Abba

LS 528 - U bent een vader die zingt en juicht over ons, Abba (distorted)

Gareth found the error in my song file. Apparently </Song> (with capital S) in the last line caused the error, and after replacing it by </song> everyhing is OK now. Thanks!
