Will this thing support lyrics like the nano does?

So far the features look like they have all the new features from the Nano, so I guess it will.

What do you mean lyrics?

Like txt files showing the lyrics? Do they come across the screen?

Thanks

yeah, that was my question as well. I have heard many people say all the new features are the same, but no mention of the lyrics support.

No one has really had the chance to try I think. But I am quite sure it will be there, that's one of the reasons for me wanting one!!

By lyrics support, it means that pressing center a couple of times will bring up a "lyrics" view in which you can scroll through your lyrics. You can add lyrics to songs through iTunes.

Lyrics support... Hadn't heard of it, but it sounds like a great feature. Does the 4G color iPod not have this?

Nope

oh... I just ordered a 20GB 4G. I got it at a great price (about 40% discount), but now I am seriously going to consider returning it and getting a 5G or a nano instead.

'cuz to view lyrics on a 4G I will have to browse through a folder of text-files, won't I? And since the iPods (as far as I've understood) don't store music in folders, I guess there's no straightforward way of linking the lyrics to the songs?

Just a heads up for those still wondering: Early recipients of the 5Gs report that they do in fact support lyrics like the nanos.

Yes, I can confirm that it supports lyrics. Also supports the password lock.

anyone know of any good software to auto-scan the internet and load the lyrics to your library? I'm using iArt right now, which works great for album covers but the lyrics are a bit lacking.

Yah, they do, you just gotta click the center button a few times.

dehlz: Are you using iArt 3.11? It supports a better lyrics feature. If that doesn't work, can you post me a few songs that it isn't so good for and I'll work on getting more lyrics support into iArt

yes, you can have your iPod display lyrics
