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 in reply to WakingCityOfEvilDec 1, 2009. 7:19 AM
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)

Who are you to say that the ipod is not useful. I think it is awesome. I think you should appriciate this instructable, and not just say it's crappy because the iPods are crappy. /rant Anyway, thanks for the tips jokada
