Yup.
I can display song lyrics on my player (it's not a iPod) and it's tacky and un-necessary. I've never used the 'feature' and doubt I ever will ....

If thats right, then that goes beyond the realms of tacky and pointless into the land of plain old stupidity. lol.
Anyway it's only text, it's hardly going to make a program "bloated" is it?”
Ahhh, damn, you got me. Can't you just tell i don't use windows media player. It's a completely pointless feature, which to my mind would make it bloat! Things that are useful, aren't bloat!
It's no more pointless than having album artwork. Some people like to from time to time check the lyrics of a particular song. Nothing wrong with that. Since it's only text as someone said it's hardly going to bloat anything code or filesize wise. Plus it's not as if it's a prominent feature.
I must admit that I love to have the lyrics and album work of every song/album on my iPod because it's making the most of what I've got - I paid a couple of hundred quid for it, so I'll make the most of it. If you press the centre button a few times, the lyrics come up.
I can get lyrics to display on my ipod but its too much hassle. If you want to get the most out of your ipod why not install rockbox or linux and play snes games on it
