I mentioned on Gearlog Radio and in my iKaraoke post last week, that the Griffin iKaraoke would be really killer if there was a way to get song lyrics to show up on your iPod. Turns out, it's possible. The only drawback is that you have to do it manually. Just right click on the song in iTunes, choose "get info" and you'll see a lyrics tab. Find the lyrics online and paste them into the box. When you queue up the song on your iPod, press the select button until the lyrics pop up. Pretty cool, although who wants to do that for every song in their collection?

Now that you can download album artwork in iTunes for your whole collection at once, how about a capability like this for lyrics?

Note: lyrics are only available in iTunes 5 or later and on 5th gen iPods and 2nd gen iPod nanos.

This only works on 5G iPods, though.

Impossible. Not so if you have a 5G or any MP4. You can download karaoke songs with streaming lyrics at doPiKaraoke.com. Check it out!

I Have what Your looking for! I have over 10,000 plus karaoke songs which easily play in itunes; on your ipod; appletv; iphone.. These are the real deal songs with video like the ones you see at the karaoke show at the bars! Full video, color changing lyrics like what everyone is used to. In Fact; I have the traditional dkkaraoke series from the early 90's (the best karaoke discs made) available in itunes (WITH THE VIDEO!!). I have been in the karaoke business since 1991. This year I have been renting appletv's loaded with karaoke songs (10,000 plus in the 160 gb version). And Yes, I have been doing all of my VIDEO karaoke djing with a pro macbook and itunes. It Works Great!!
