How to Automatically Add Lyrics to an iPod

The only thing better than a great song is having the lyrics handy to sing along. Not everybody realizes that a few simple steps can turn a regular iPod into a mini karaoke machine. For the person who doesn't have much time for typing, there is a way to automatically add lyrics to an iPod.

Instructions

1. Locate a downloadable program that searches for song lyrics. For example: one such site is called Evil Lyrics. Go to their site and download the latest stable version of their program.

2. Place the downloaded file in a secure and familiar location on your home computer.

3. Open the Evil Lyrics program on your computer and find the menu labeled Preferences.

4. Highlight the Advanced option under the preferences menu. Then choose Other Settings. In the other settings menu, select Add Lyrics Tag in iTunes.

5. Run the Evil Lyrics program along with your iTunes music library. When each song plays, the program will automatically search for song lyrics and then add them to the MP3. From now on, the lyrics will be available through your iTunes or on the iPod.

Tips & Warnings

• As iTunes does not offer lyrics to music as it does album covers, the only viable alternative is to seek out song lyrics yourself and type all of them into the text option of your iTunes program.

• Once you have the lyrics you can have a karaoke night with your friends.
