View lyrics

I already loaded most of the song's lyrics, and used to read them while using my old U2 iPod. How can I see the lyrics now with my iPod Touch?

VAIO, Windows XP

You can't.
The iPod Touch doesn't support the lyrics feature.

This is a feature I would really like to see in the next version. Not for lyrics specifically, but to be able to see the description of podcasts etc.

Yes this is really annoying. I use the lyrics feature for language learning. I suggest that we all send an enhancement request to Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

I've already sent such a request.

Has anyone received any feedback on the possibility of the lyrics feature actually being added?

I miss the lyrics feature so much I'm tempted to return my iPod touch.

The Lyrics and/or Podcast Description have also not been enabled in v_1.1.3. Instead Apple will sell you the lyrics feature in the new January Upgarde!

... you should also add:
ONLY on the paid 1.1.3 do lyrics work. They're not available in the free update

thanks netean. this answer was exActly what i was looking for.

So it is confirmed: the view lyrics function is included in the $20 SOFTWARE UPGRADE but NOT on the FREE 1.1.3 update

i don't really get why Apple is charging iPod touch owners for the software upgrade. Sure they're new features to the touch, but come on... new touch buyers get them for FREE?

Apple should have at least included the view lyrics function on the FREE 1.1.3 update, not just the $20 software upgrade.

Can anyone confirm if it is possible to view the PodCast DESCRIPTION using the $/Eur 20 update? I understand (from this tread) you can view the lyrics field. In ITunes the Description is a different field than the Lyrics. Neither are available in the free update.

I paid for the upgrade. How can I see lyrics? I assume that I need to load them in iTunes. How do I do that? Thanks very much...I have always wanted to see lyrics..

Open Itunes and go to the song an right click on it and select get info
Go to the lyrics tab and then right click and paste the lyrics
Sync your ipod to load the lyrics
