Add lyrics to iTunes with pearLyrics

If you didn't already know, iTunes 5 supports storing lyrics in the song itself. By going to File > Get Info, you can add in lyrics to the ID3 tag for that song. These appear to only be viewable on the nano, which I guess is good for you nanites out there. Anyway, if you're not into copy and paste for a few thousand items, give pearLyrics a shot. Available as a widget for Tiger and a standalone app for Panther, it's a pretty automagical method for inserting lyrics into your songs.... Unfortunately it won't do all your songs at once. Instead, I found a little tip over at MacOSXHints to do that. Using Needle Drop and pearLyrics (the standalone app, which you can still use in Tiger), it will go through whatever selected songs you choose and fill in the lyric info. Be forewarned however, it can take from 30 seconds to one minute per song to do this, so make sure you have the time to commit.
