I team,
I am facing the same error with my Mac Book Pro + MiniLyrics embedded within iTunes since also a long time...
When listening to a music file, I got error pop-up that says: "Error code 17; Internet connection maybe down, no such host is known".
My internet connection works indeed perfectly and I do not think there is any issue with my firewall settings.
How can I solve that problem on a Mac Book Pro / iTunes ?
I followed the online help for modifying the file using the Go --> Go to Folder command and address to : /private/etc/hosts.
I copied the original host file within another folder, modify that copied file, save back that file on top of its original location (/private/etc/hosts).

I also made to flush my DNS cache. Open Terminal and using the following command :

Indeed, there is no lyrics for any song I listen through iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards.
