Lyrics in iOS 4.3 (8FF190)

All my songs have lyrics and the correct artwork.

When playing randomly on iPhone 4 with the lyrics displayed (I like to see the lyrics while the music is playing), the song will play to end and when it advances to the next song, the lyrics do not show.

You must tap the screen once to return to the artwork display, then tap again to show lyrics.

If you manually advance a song, the lyrics stay showing as expected.

I´ve got the same problem with update 4.3.2. and i don´t know how to fix it. Any idea?

I now have an iPad 2 with 4.3.3 running on it, and the lyrics display perfectly. There is no need to tap the screen to go to artwork screen and then tap again to re-display the lyrics. The system works as designed.

However, on my iPhone 4 with 4.3.3, the bug is STILL present. You must tap the screen twice to redisplay the lyrics.

New information: If the song has been played at least once, and you had set the lyrics to be displayed for that song, the next time the same song plays, it will display the lyrics properly.

Please fix this soon Apple!

If they do, they can't discuss it here because they're bound by a non-disclosure agreement.

I am facing a similar problem, as well as another one on iOS 4.3.3

All of my iTunes songs have lyrics, but when I synch my songs to iPhone 4, not all songs display their lyrics (not even if i tap twice on the screen).

Was working perfectly for me in iOS 4.2.1 and 4.1

The same bug still in iOS 4.3.4 on iPhone 4. I also noticed that in some songs lyrics don't appear at all on my iPhone screen. I can see lyrics in iTunes on Mac, but not on the iPhone.

Reported bug to Apple. Please do the same. Perhaps receiving several hundred complains about this bug someone at Apple will take care of it…

CORRECTION: Artwork is working properly, I found a few without. My mistake. Glad to see the lyrics problem solved.
