The background: Well I had this idea because I cant understand the lyrics of most songs. That said, it definately doesnt reflect my intellectual capacity ;)
"As-Is" situation & The Idea: So I thought that I listen to my songs on my pod and need to dig for the lyrics on the net and then play songs (on my pod or iTunes) and read the page on the net. Instead, what if I could read the lyrics on my pod/iTunes itself? Wont it be cool??
How to do it? The execution can be simple. I think one can download the lyrics from any source, paste it in Notepad and save it as a typical file extension, lets call it .kk (see I am a genious!). The only catch is that the file name of the .kk file should be the same as the file name of the song file. So if I wanna download 'Reason' from Hoobastank, I should have a reason.mp3 or reason.wav and have a corresponding reason.kk. When iTunes plays the track 'Reason', it should look for 'reason.kk' and if it exists, attach it as the scrolling text in the iTunes or the iPod, for that matter.. Simple aint it?!?!
Future business opportunity for Apple: I think a possible revenue generation source for Apple could be selling the lyrics of songs like their existing mechanism for songs. I dont know of any really famous sources that are comprehensive and accurate for providing lyrics. Apple can take the lead here and make money for quality stuff and maybe make it the only format acceptable to iPods!
I am still thinking...what say!?!??
