Thats pretty close to what I use (iPod nano (3rd generation)) but since artwork is displayed all the time, there is no separate cycle position for it.
What do you mean by "all the time"? My iPod shows the artwork during the volume and position display, but not during the rating one.
Are you sure that the postings you've read about lyrics display where talking about your model?
Yes. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=160916 suggests that the iPod reads the lyrics from the mp3 and not the iTunesDB. That would explain why my test failed. I only set the lyrics_flag, but did not add a USLT tag. I can confirm that iTunes also adds a USLT tag when you add lyrics to an mp3.
I just did another test with 2 files with USLT tags. When the lyrics_flag is 0, no lyrics are shown. When it is 1, the lyrics are shown! So gnupod should really set the lyrics_flag when a USLT is present in mp3 files.
This also means that filling the description field with the USLT info for non-podcast mp3s is pretty useless. I don't have enough experience with podcasts to check if the description field or USLT tag is shown for those files.
Cheers, Richard
