I am looking for software that would pull up the lyrics of the song I'm playing in itunes. I tried a couple and they don't work well. The best one is in winamp, but I love itunes. Does anyone know of a program that works well.

I'm a little confused by your post. Did you find programs that look up songs in iTunes' lyrics, but were unhappy with them, or do you mean that winamp does what you want but nothing in iTunes does? I'm not surehow you'd use winamp to get iTunes lyrics....

Also, since you mention winamp, are you on a mac or a windows machine?

If you're on a mac, are you aware of this? Honestly, I finally ended up sticking with googling manually, but anyway:

OK first I was talking about a mac

I have winamp that works on the mac and it will find the lyrics when playing a song in winamp.

I have tried Doug's script, it doesn't work the way winamp does and it doesn't always find the lyrics.

I thought I saw some place where, if you started playing a song in itunes a window would pop up showing the lyrics. I can't remember where I saw it.
