Lyrics not showing up on mp3's

I have iTunes 9.2.1 (5)
I ripped an album as mp3's and added lyrics to them using songbird.
The lyrics show up in iTunes but not on my iPhone.
On a hunch I re-ripped one of the songs as an AAC file copied the lyrics into it and they show up fine. Has Apple dropped lyrics support for MP3's?
Can anyone reproduce this issue?

Make sure to read the FAQ post about how to ask your question. For starters, what player do you have?

  • IPad 1 iOS 5 software iTunes lyrics not showing. How to fix that

    Hello all iPad users (especially iPad 1). Today, I have finally upgraded my iPad software to iOS 5 after many days of neglect. I was very happy with the new software until I found out that all my work of searching the lyrics of the songs in my iTunes became useless because THEY DO NOT SHOW!!!! Can someone please help me with this??? I will be very happy with any helpful answer. Thank you very much. ^^

    The Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad doesn't support lyrics. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be reinstated in a future release : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Previews not showing up for MP3's in finder

    Alright, so I'm kind of a newb on here, but i have a macbook pro (2009) with lion on it. When I look in my finder for any file, be it a pdf, of picture, document or movie, I get the nice little preview. But with the MP3s, i get nothing the generic iTunes logo. What happened to the previews i used to get with the MP3's where they used to have the album artwork, and when you clicked on them, they would play from with in the finder? its driving me crazy trying to figure out what it could be!
    And Ps. i DO have show icon preview checked in the view options.

    Good news: I found a solution. Kind of bad news: it's an extremely awkward behaviour –*but at least it works.
    Start iTunes, remove all your voice memos from your library (back them up if you need them), quit iTunes. Restart Finder. Done. I hope that helps!

  • Lyrics not show in Nano-keep pressing the center button but nothing, help!!

    Hi there,
    i keep pressing the center button until the lyrics appears but still nothing there, can you please help.
    thx

    I'm not sure if the right click will work. I instead will click on a song and select "get info", then choose the lyric tab.
    -Isn't that exactly what she said she did?
    Does the lyrics pane come up empty on the iPod, or does it go straight from artwork to ratings and completely skip the lyics?

  • Why do lyrics not show up on remote computer using iTunes 12.0.1.26?

    My music is stored on my iMac. Since iTunes 12.0.1.26 was installed, when I go to the "shared library" on my Mac Air, select a track and click on "Get info", the lyrics no longer appear. They do appear on the iMac. And all the other data associated with "Get info" appear on the Mac Air. Any clues as to why this is now happening?

  • How should i save a mp3 song so that i can add to itune library? i keep coping to library but its not showing up

    how to save mp3 song and then transfer to itune library? i keep coping to library but its not showing up

    Download it to your computer and make sure you know where the file is.
    Right-click the file, choose Properties and look at the General tab. Make sure the "Type of file" is "MPEG Layer 3 audio file" and that the "Size" is at least several MB.
    Are we good so far?
    If so, find your Automatically Add to iTunes folder (which is inside the iTunes Media folder) and drag your MP3 into it.

  • Walkman app not showing my downloaded podcast mp3 and m4a files

    Hi all,
    Hope someone can help me with an Issue on my Z3 Compact running Lollipop 5.0.2 firmware.
    I have a Music folder on my SDCard which contains all my music files in subfolders and all these files appear in the Walkman app just fine.
    I also have two folders called 'Podcasts' - one on the internal storage and one on the SDCard which contain mp3 and m4a files which I have downloaded using 3rd party apps.
    I would like to listen to these podcast files using the Walkman app - but they will not appear in Walkman - even if I try the Folders options.but it still will not show either of the Podcast folders.
    The weird thing is it lists voices and sounds / voices rom two different SatNav folders which are stored on the SDCard - but not the podcast folders!!
    It even lists a folder of foreign language audio mp3 files - but not the podcast files.
    The podcast files appear fine in PowerAmp whic even shows the tags and descriptions etc....So, why not Walkman?
    I even tried unmounting and re-mounting the SDCard to see if it would rescan - but still nothing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • MP3's Not showing up right.

    Since I updated to Itunes 11 I have tried to add one album and have had no luck.
    I have the songs as MP3's
    When I first tried to add them to Ituns Nothing happend (no luck with drag&drop or file>add to library)
    next day I tried again and they actually added to Itunes.
    They did not appear in the library. They were only in the Recently added section. after an hour or two they finally showed up in the Library
    that one album shows up as 10 different albums with the same artist, album name, & album art
    I made sure that They are all selected as a compilation, they all have the same sorting information, and Still it stays as 10 different albums.
    Is this happening to anyone else, and is there any way to fix it?

    I have the exact same behavior, when I just added the album it is possible to find it using the "search Library" function in iTunes. But when I click on the result it is not showing up.

  • Pdfs and MP3s in iTunes Folder not showing up iTunes Library - Please Help

    Hi, I am running iTunes 10.7 on a 15 inch MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB of RAM using OS X 10.7.5.
    My problem is that when I bring the latest set of pdf and MP3 files I added do not show up in my iTunes library.  If I go through the finder they are in the iTunes folder, but they will not display or play.
    Thank you
    Nucleus

    They will not play or display even outside of iTunes?  Not with Quicktime Player (for the mp3s) or Preview (for the PDFs)?  If that's the case the files are probably corrupt.
    Adding items to iTunes and not having them appear in the library is a recurring problem with newer versions for some.
    Try restarting iTunes.
    Check your recently added playlist.  If they are there, try temporarily editing an item in the name, then restart iTunes and see if it appears. 
    Start iTunes, immediately hold down the option key and create a new, test library.  Add the files to it.  Do they add?  If yes, then they are readable by iTunes.  Go back to your old library using hte option key thing again.

  • Why is iTunes not showing mt MP3 album artwork?

    I noticed after the latest iTunes update that most of the artwork I manually added in the last year to songs has gone missing. About a year ago I began adding new songs using the MP3 encoder. Previous songs were all loaded as AAC files. The AAC files all are fine. The artwork image still shows on the MP3 file icon in windows explorer so I assume it is still embedded in the file.
    Deleting and re-adding the file back into iTunes doesn't help.
    The Comments info box for the problem files also now includes a weird string of code that wasn't there before.
    00000000 00000210 00000ACC 000000000075C224 00000000 00355D39 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
    Finally, I noticed the iTunes folder now has an Album Artwork folder in it and It contains two folders Local and Download in it. I don't remember these from prior versions of iTunes. I could be wrong?
    My guess is iTunes changed the way it keeps track of artwork in files and re-organized itself from older versions, but had a problem with MP3 files. It then put a notation in comments and stopped showing the embedded artwork.
    Does anyone know what's going on here.

    I've always assumed those silly strings were recording the results of the gapless playback analysis but whatever they're for it would be better if they were stored in a spare field.
    Windows Media Player/Windows Explorer may be less fussy on embedded artwork formats than iTunes or the media file might actually be missing the art but the Windows Explorer cache (Thumbs.db) still shows it. You say removing-reimporting doesn't help but I assume you can still paste new artwork in and have it remembered. If so you might want to use the following tool to at least take some of the effort out of searching out which tracks you need to repair.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.

  • Mp3 Player not showing?

    Any suggestions please?  

    It may not be compatible with Lion.

  • Creative Zen Nano mp3 player not showing on ext monitor

    I am having a problem getting an mp3 player to show in the finder when my powerbook is closed and I am working off an external monitor.
    I have a Creative Zen Nano 512 mb which shows on the desktop of my powerbook when the lid is up. Once showing I can close the lid and it will still show on an external monitor. If I eject and plug it in again, it will not show. I can restart the powerbook but I cannot connect the mp3 player to a closed powerbook and get it to show up on the external monitor. I can only get it to show in the finder when the powerbook display is functional. It will show on both.
    Anyone have info on this.
    How can I get this MP3 player plugged into the USB port, to show on the desktop viewed on the external monitor when the powerbook is closed lib?
    Thanks

    Harmz,
    I think you may get better info if you post on the Powerbook G4 12" Discussions. (I think you just hit the wrong button.)

  • Album Artwork not showing up in Nano

    I just got a Nano and I have been importing my CD's to iTunes so that I can put it on my Nano. I have manually put in the artwork for the albums, but they're still not showing up in my Nano. I see it in iTunes under my iPod when connected, but not on the actual iPod. I'm reading a lot about "syncing" with the computer, but I don't really understand what it means. Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Sony Vaio   Windows XP   Nano/Shuffle

    Hi,
    'Syncing' just means plugging your nano in, and if everything is set to auto (usually this is how it comes straight out of the box) iTunes should fire up and copy your tracks to the nano.
    Here is a link to the tutorial if you haven't already gone through it:
    Add Song Information, Lyrics, and Artwork to My Tunes
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/tunes/2/#4
    You shouldn't have to convert ID3 tags as far as I know.
    I put the album art straight onto my iPod when it was connected to iTunes
    Not sure if this is the problem - the Artwork goes on the track in iTunes first, then you sync (load) the tracks to the iPod.
    The artwork becomes part of the mp3 file so it gets moved across to the iPod when you load your track.
    If you are still having problems after going through all this then get back and we'll try work out what to do next.
    You may want to do the restore step to set it back to factory conditions: The 5 Rs: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall & Restore
