A proposed deal between Apple and digital media company Gracenote could soon see the iPod maker serve up song lyrics through its ubiquitous iTunes Store.
Gracenote and Yahoo! kicked-off the effort earlier this week in announcing a licensing deal allowing Yahoo! Music to offer legal, licensed song lyrics from hundreds of thousands of songs to its customers. Some feature artists include U2, Elvis and The Beatles.
In speaking to Reuters, Palmer revealed his firm is in discussions with various other music partners, such as Apple’s iTunes. “We wouldn’t be in the business to launch just one service, so stay tuned,” he said.
A deal between Gracenote and Apple would almost certainly pave the way for lyric downloads to digital music players, allowing iPod users to sing along to their favorite tunes.

5. How about outlawing it altogether?
I love music, I listen to music, I write music and I record music, but I still haven’t figured out why I need ten thousand songs on my belt. Or in my pocket, or even around my neck. Besides, I haven’t written that many yet.
Maybe Yahoo should become more Apple friendly first! (It’s a real pain in the arrrrs that I can’t listen to “My Yahoo Music” using safari). Just one of the few problems I’m having with my Mac.
