iOS 6 podcast lyrics
kangxia
September 21, 2012, 07:44 AM posted in General DiscussionI have just upgraded the operating system on my iPhone 4 from iOS 5 to iOS 6. As a result, my ChinesePod podcasts are now in the "Podcasts" app rather than in the "Music" app. The problem is that I can't see the ChinesePod lyrics (i.e., the lesson dialogues) anymore. I can still see the lyrics of my songs in the Music app, but I don't see the lyrics of my ChinesePod podcasts. In settings, I have selected "ON" for "Music > Lyrics & Podcast Info", but this doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas?

Thanks Bababardwan. I am glad to know it isn't something Apple has done on purpose. I probably just need to play around with it (e.g., delete the Podcasts off of my iPhone and then re-sync the iPhone to iTunes).

no worries kangxia, good luck mate :)

For iPad the situation just simply sucks. Apple removed the possibility to see lyrics in iOS5 (worked just fine in iOS4). Looks like iOS6 is not fixing the problem.

I'm still not having any luck with this. All I see is a photo of Jennie and John. When I tap it, I see a tape deck. I can also tap the right arrow next to a podcast in the list of podcasts and get some basic information about the podcast (date, duration, size), but I can't find the lyrics anywhere. Bababardwan, do you see the lyrics after you tap the photo of Jennie and John or are they on top of the photo? I have been looking on the Internet and see that other people are complaining about the same problem I am having.
I have the same problem as Miskat does with the iPad (and iOS6 doesn't seem to have addressed it). Lyrics don't show up in either the Music or the Podcast apps. There isn't even an option for "Music > Lyrics & Podcast Info" in the iPad Music settings.

September 21, 2012, 08:25 AMI don't have a direct solution to the podcast lyrics problem, have you tried using the Chinese Pod iPhone app? I'm assuming that the app wouldn't affected by the operating system upgrade.
