256 characters maximum?!
Hmm.. I've tried that before and found out that comments can hold a maximum of 256 characters.

I get the same result here using iTunes 4.2 and AAC files, as well as any MP3 files with ID2.4 tags.

Indeed. The MP3 comments field has a size limit. You have to be careful when using iTunes to enter comments: you can type as much as you want in the comments box, but when you click on OK and then go back into the Info dialog, you'll see that your comments have been truncated. You could store the lyrics in a separate text file and store the file name and path in the comments field. Or just give the lyrics file the same name as the MP3 file, but with 'txt' as the extension instead of 'mp3', and keep them in the same directory. You could probably then write a "Stay Open" AppleScript that monitors iTunes, and when a new song starts it looks for the lyrics file and displays the lyrics. Or write a non-stay-open AppleScript and run it through GeekTool. |
