How My Band’s New Album Unlocked My Ipod’s Hidden Powers

First things first, here’s our first “official” (meaning, on Bandcamp) release, Best of Year One: http://trialofthegoldenwitch.bandcamp.com/album/best-of-year-one

This is a collection of the 22 most listenable songs that my band has recorded in the past year. I think it’s quite a fun and cool collection. I’d have released it for free, but Bandcamp won’t let me—not that it matters, since who wants this shit on their computer(?), and also the streaming is the same quality you’ll get for downloading.

Nonetheless, I actually bought the damn thing, because I wanted to put it on my ipod and was too lazy to hunt down/convert all the songs to mp3s. And through doing this, I discovered a new function on my ipod touch!

See, when I uploaded the songs, I filled in their lyrics, which you can see on the individual pages of the songs. Unexpectedly, when you play one of these songs on an ipod touch, it shows the lyrics on screen while the songs is playing, and you can scroll through them and it’s pretty awesome.

I don’t know how to even put lyrics on a regular mp3, and clearly it’s not a normal practice to write lyrics to song files, since I’ve never seen this before. I gotta say it’s pretty fucking cool!
