Don't see why, that's like saying VO Reads the clock in the menubar but I can still see it. Someone will use the lyrics functionality i'm sure.

That ability is useful since many song lyrics are impossible to make out when playing back a song. (e.g., see the famous obscenity case against the Kingsmen <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louie_Louie#Lyrics_investigation>) "In June, 1965, the FBI laboratory obtained a copy of the recording and, after two years of investigation, concluded that the recording could not be interpreted, that it was "unintelligible at any speed," and therefore the Bureau could not find that the recording was obscene" Rowland. -- Remove the animal for email address: rowland.mcdonnell(a)dog.physics.org Sorry - the spam got to me http://www.mag-uk.org http://www.bmf.co.uk UK biker?

For quite a long time I thought a lyric in "Bohemian Rhapsody" was 'Beelzebub has the Devil for a sideboard'. The _actual_ lyric made...slightly more sense.
