    Dont no why it isnt working. I went into info and and copy and paste the lyrics in the lyrics tab. When i try to play the song, the IPod only gives me the artwork and the basic aritist, album, song info.

    I’m a retard…. i didn’t read the last sentence of the direction. The part where you have to push the center button. I was expecting it to just automatically pops up and auto scroll down as the song progress like karaoke . Sorry for double posting…. there isn’t an edit option.

    iTunes won’t let me edit the lyrics on some songs bought. I think this has something to do with DRM. Even ‘unlocked’ iTunes Plus songs won’t let me edit them…
