How to Put Song Lyrics on an iPod Nano

While songs on your iPod nano do not have the lyrics by default, you can add them to individual tracks. You can find song lyrics on lyrics websites and manually paste them into the song's properties in the iTunes program. After you have added the lyrics to your audio track, simply sync your iPod nano to your computer by connecting it with the iPod USB cable. During the song's playback on your iPod nano, switch to alternative views to see the lyrics and artwork.

Things You'll Need

• iPod USB cable
• iTunes 7.0 or later
