Lyrics coming soon to iTMS?

Song LyricsOne of my favorite features of the most recent iPods (and of iTunes) is the ability to store song lyrics. I love being able to look up the words to a song without waiting until I have internet access. The only problem in all this is actually obtaining and loading the lyrics into iTunes, which is sometimes painful (despite certain utilities which help).

This problem may soon be gone, however, as Gracenote (the company who provides Apple with its CD Database) has obtained the rights to the lyrics of over one million songs. Perhaps songs will start coming with lyrics preloaded from the iTMS? Whatever happens, I hope it doesn’t cost anything to the consumer; (often inaccurate) lyrics can be found in abundance for free on the net.
