How To Add Song Lyrics To Your iPod -- A Step-By-Step-Guide... by Daniel Dwase
A coolest feature of the iPod nano and the 5th gen iPod model... the iPod video... is that it allows you to add lyrics to your
songs via iTunes
so that you can sing along to your favorite songs on your iPod.
Open iTunes, select the song from your music library... this should be the song you wish to add the lyrics to.
I selected 'Just For A Day' by the Winans Brothers as the song to add my lyrics.
3. Open Dialog Box
Right-click on your selected song and select "Get Info". An easier option is to go to "File > Get Info"...
this works the same as right-clicking your selected song.
A dialog box opens up. Click the tab that says "Lyrics". This brings up an empty
lyrics box where you add your lyrics.
4. Add Lyrics
Type in your lyrics or paste it in from another source like the internet. The easiest way I found my lyrics was to do a Google
search on the
'Winans Phase 2', copied it and pasted it in the 'Lyrics dialog box.
You can also do a search for your lyrics to add as well.
Click 'OK'
5. Sync Lyrics To Your iPod
The last step to add song lyrics to your iPod is to... go to "File>Sync iPod" to copy the song to your iPod.
To sing along to your lyrics, all you need to do is to play the song you added the lyrics to. When the song is playing,
pressing the 'Centre'
button repeatedly on your iPod will take you to the lyrics option where you can view your lyrics and sing along to it :o)

You are a genius, I thought I had downloaded iTunes 7... I didn't have to reset, everything came up as was
on it when it crashed.
I cannot thank you enough for not giving up, this one had sentimental value that you cannot believe and they
do not make the black nanos anymore.
I tried everything on the internet, and you are the only one that replied and kept at it until you solved the
problem.
Thank you.

Wow Daniel! What a fantastic service. I really didn't expect such a prompt response, if at all. And
thanks for your advice. I certainly will be downloading from the sites you have listed. We are bathing in
summer heat here, whilst I guess you are sheltering from the approaching winter. As a student it is not
unusual to work through the night and I must say, how fantastic it is to have music all night. And such excellent
quality sound too. So thrilled to have iPod up and running!
Thanks again.
Ciao
