    I don't think you can display song lyrics with WMP, or at least, I've never heard of such a thing. I know you can do this in foobar2000 with little work and customization though if you're interested.

    Omg..what the heck are u guys saying..

    Click on Song file> Properties>Details> in XP .. go to Lyrics n Paste the Lyrics downloaded from the internet on notepad.

    In Vista.. Paste the lyrics under 'Subtitled' ..
    On Vista it might give problems due to the highly abused & criticized DRM

    The plugin referenced above is a MUCH quicker/easier way to accomplish this. I had never heard of it before, and really enjoy it.
