Lyrics on your iPod

's iStar Composer 1.0 is an original and major new application that creates synchronized lyrics on the Mac to export to the iPod and iTunes. The application finds lyrics, but more importantly allows you to synch them to a song. Composer then allows you to export the new composition to a new music file (AAC) that contains embedded lyrics that play/display in iTunes and on the iPod. "By displaying the lyrics iStar Composer adds a new dimension to the iPod and iTunes. People will not just be looking at the song and title in iTunes and their iPod but can now enjoy reading or singing along with them too." It is available now for $30. [site not responding]

"We had to invent for iStar Composer some very original tools and techniques to line up the lyrics with the music. These tools make it easy to quickly add synchronized lyrics for any kind of song you own." iStar Composer can be used for editing and displaying lyrics, opera, karaoke, jokeoke (where people imitate a robin williams or another comedy routine), poetryoke (poems done to music), children's stories or children music, translation of text or lyrics, display of text for any audio track. And it is fun almost like playing a video game."
