Help Detail: This help document explains how to use the "Copy to iPod" button in Canto Pod for OSX.
Once you have lyrics you probably want to do something with them. Your first option is to Copy them to your iPod. This will copy them to your iPods Notes folder.
If you want to be able to scroll through lyrics directly from playing a song in iTunes, please skip this section and go to "Copy to iTunes" to learn how to do this.
But if you would like to copy to your iPods notes folder this is achieved very easily.
Copy to Notes
1. First, connect your iPod to your computer
2. Make sure that your iPod is connected. If it is properly connected, it will flash "Do Not Disconnect" on the screen.
a. If your iPod does not say "Do Not Disconnect", but rather "Ok To Disconnect" with a check mark, then it is not properly configured. You must disable auto update.
b. To disable auto update, connect the iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
c. From the source list, go to devices and then select your iPod.
d. Then, on the right hand side of iTunes, select summary.
e. Finally, scroll down and check "Manually manage music and videos".
f. Note that doing this means you will manually have to copy songs and videos to your iPod from here on out. This is the recommended iPod management method though, since it allows you to connect your iPod to any computer without having to worry about your music being deleted.
3. Simply click on the Copy to iPod tab when you are satisfied with your lyrics.
4. Done!
Viewing the lyrics on your iPod
1. IMPORTANT: Safely eject your iPod from your computer by pressing the eject button in iTunes.
2. Once your iPod is disconnected from your computer, select the "Extras" menu option.
3. In "Extras", select "Notes"
4. From the "Notes" folder, select "Lyrics"
5. You should now have navigated to Extras>Notes>Lyrics
6. In the lyrics folder you will see all of the lyrics you have downloaded using Canto Pod.
7. To view a specific lyric, simply highlight it and select it.
Deleting lyrics from your iPod
1. To delete the lyrics from your iPod, first, select your iPod from your desktop.
2. Once your iPod is open in Finder, select the Notes folder
3. In notes, select Lyrics. You will then see all the lyrics you have copied to your iPod.
4. To delete a specific lyric, simply drag and drop it to the recycle bin, or, right click it and select move to trash.
