Can you view lyrics on the new Video Ipod? ...i heard the nano has this capability... also, how does it look, i have not see this and the folks at the apple store are never able to show me... is it the entire song's lyrics, or does it scroll?

TIA

You can view lyrics, and it scrolls, but it's not as if the lyrics are automatically put in for you. You have to do it manually, or use some third-party program to add the lyrics to your song library.

Yes, the lyrics are applicable to both the nano and the iPod with video. You can usually find the lyrics to a given song by Googling, then copy and paste them in the Info window for that song in iTunes. Just sync you iPod and they will be available.

Pear lyrics on the Mac will auto load the lyrics into your mp3 file
for you when you play each song.

With the current version it will only write lyrics to the mp3/aac files in the iTunes library - then you can transfer them over to the ipod for display.

The developer told me that he will soon update the app/widget it so it will have the option to write the lyrics to each played song when played from the ipod - a much more obvious solution.

Its really great -- check it out
