I haven't looked at it carefully (and I don't have time before at
least a week), but it looks like a problem with the parsing of your
HMTL. Excerpt: "<!----begin  Music  links------->". This is not
valid[1] HTML. In order for the link checker properly, the mark-up
should be valid.

If the mark-up is not valid, it is not guaranteed that it's going to
work. It is not guaranteed that it's going to work for valid HTML
either. ;-)
