    Hi!
    How can I add lyrics to a (.mp3) song ? Some of the songs have lyrics, when I play they at my iPod I can see the lyrics too. But how can I add it to others?

    My bluetooth does not work with Win7 so can't add screenshot... :rolleyes:

    You need to add Lyrics3 v2 tags to the songs, put lyrics there, and save them.

    since you said ipod i guess your using itunes? i know if you right click on a song and hit get info theres a lyrics tab you can copy and paste them into that, but you would have to do it for every song manually

    There are plugins for Winamp which do it automatically.

    I hate itunes, I use Winamp to play my music files ect. But I must use itunes to synch my iPod. I have itunes on my destkop so I can leave it out from my "daily" computer :)
    Silas Awaketh : Name of the plugin :)
    And some of plugins make winamp crash at Vista x64 SP2, have you tried it?
    I don't like auto tagging of my mp3 files (album artist ect). It is always wrong. So I have disabled stuff like that in winamp.
    There is only some songs, I want to do this at. That means I can do it manualy if winamp don't take wrong :)

    jackluo923 and beige : Thanks I will try those one out :)

    I think Winamp does it as well. It worked for me when I had an iPod 2-3 years ago.

    Yes, I tried it, but with Windows Vista x64 SP1. No crashes or anything. But I forgot which one is was. Search the Winamp site for "lyrics" and chose the one you like.

    EDIT - Here.

    I don't use it's stupid tagging feature too, I use Mp3tag, it's awesome, and tag some manually.

    Thanks again Silas Awaketh :)
    Winamp has iPod synch support, but I have not tried it yet :D

    EDIT: Link removed. I didn't like it :D
    I will do it manuely. :)

    EDIT2: I leave it out for now, I have tried TagRunner and Mp3tag. Mp3tag Seems to bee fine but TagRunner can't find lyrics. I think it is becouse album is not registred. But I'm going to use Mp3tag orginaze my files :)

    Thanks for everyone who answerd me :)

    ((Feel free to close))
