How do you get lyrics to show up on your ipod?

iPod/iTines help needed! Lyrics for a song won't sync onto my iPod correctly!

  • I have a 5th generation, black, 30G video iPod. If you've ever tried to put lyrics on your iPod, then you will understand this better. When you right click on a song in your iTunes library (from the iTunes window), and you choose, Get Info, and then click on the Lyrics tab, you can out the lyrics to that specific song there! Afterwards, if you play that song on your iPod, then you can press enter 3 times, and right after the album artwork passes, there will be a page where the title of the song is on the top, and then lyrics are underneath! If you did not put anything under the Lyrics tab on iTunes, then this page will not show up for that song on your iPod. My problem is that I put lyrics for a few songs under the lyrics tab for each song, but on my iPod they don't show up! You can access the page where the lyrics should be, which proves that the iPod knows something is there, but it only shows the title at the top! What can I do to fix this?

  • Answer:

    Select all the songs on your iPod in iTunes, then right-click (Control-click if you're on a Mac) and select "Convert ID3 Tags" then select v2.3 from the pop-up menu. This will fix all your songs in one fell swoop.
