iPod classic doesn't detect lyrics PROBLEM SOLVED!

UPDATE: Thanks to daveorawk2 for helping solve the problem!

Right-click on the songs and select

Convert ID3 Tags

And then choose v2.3, and it should work.

It certainly did! Thanks for the help! :)

One of the various problems I'm having with my brand-new 160Gb iPod classic, is that it can't detect lyrics on some of my songs. When trying to acces them, the screen loads and then pops up the message "Lyrics detected but unable to retrieve". BTW, the mp3s were ripped directly from the album. Don't steal music.
I have the (as of today) latest firmware: 1.1.2

EDIT: Sorry the quality is awful, I took that with my cellphone, I don't have a camera, but I believe you get the idea pretty well.

I can't tell you how many times I have synced my laptop to my computer just to try and fix this sh*tty little problem. I give up, doesn't work for me, and all I'm achieving out of this, is getting even more frustrated. I swear, my eyebrow is twiching... I mean, all I want is just to be able to understand what I'm hearing, particularly in the case of a very quick rap song...sigh p.s.ditch the camera, it's blurry and lags too much- just like my mind

@Gracey457 Yeah I got another camara since, and this problem seems to still happen with the newest generation iPod classics... :(

Okay I changed the ID3 tags to just about any option there including the v2.3 and it refuses to work. I'm getting so annoyed. Help, anyone?

[MotherBuster]

Whoa, well, I coverted to v2.3, and then Sync again, and it worked like a charm.

Maybe if you covert, then take out the files from iTunes, then import them again, that's the last thing I can think of... Hope it helps!! :)

[MackGarko02]

if it doesn't is becuz you have written too many words on the "lyrics square"

the ID3 thing worked, thanks a million! ;)

Im having the problem now in 2011 and its not working to change the id tags. Ive changed to 2.3 or 2.4 - and it helped on some tracks but others still are having the same error...and yet songs that are displaying lyrics are having smaller id tags so I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it

[ronaldli5]

LOL, what brand of toothpaste are you using to record this?

[Lozridge]

The ID3 thing didn't work for me, for any version, but I created an MP3 version of each song that didn't work and deleted the first versions, and that worked great for me :D
