Get The Most Out Of Your Ipod - Ipod Tips

Hello everybody, this is my first instructable, and its on how to get the most out of your ipod. I will be giving tips on what I have done on my Ipod Classic (6G). Hope everybody likes it. :)

NOTE: THIS INSTRUCTABLE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IPOD SHUFFLES. AND I'M SORRY FOR BAD PICS, NOT A GREAT CAMERA!

Step 1 View Lyrics for a Song

A neat little feature for your ipod. All you need for this is iTunes.

1st, get the lyrics for the song online. Copy it onto the clipboard.

2nd, in iTunes, right click the song and click Get Info.

3rd, click on the lyrics tab. Paste the lyrics into there.

You're done! Now just get onto your ipod, start playing the song, and click the center button a few times until you get to the lyrics. Yay! Ipod Sing-along time!

I used my 6th Gen Classic and it asked me to plug in the cord.

[chepech]

This only works for 5th Gen Ipods (Im not sure if 4th too).

Video output for 6th Gen was moved to the data port (USB cable) so you need to purchase a special cable for that (around 45 or 50 bucks last time I checked)

 OMG OMG OMG
Drowning Pool! :D

jsyk all the cables are the same the color is just so you dont get them switched from plugging them into your tv to what ever you are using as an imput
