Really? I don’t think so. I don’t see many people today that want to poke around a kind of crappy interface to see the front and back of the album cover, let alone pay more for the multimedia ‘enhancements.’ They would be wiser to just start including song lyrics embedded in the tracks sold by the iTunes Store.
