Escamillo: I've had similar ideas myself, but being more a singer than a musician, I have often wished for the lyrics to be encoded on the CD. Heck, it would be an improvement just to put the TITLES on the CD. Most CD players have a small digital display where they tell you which track (numerically) is playing; why not make the display a little bigger and tell you the title? Or if you're playing the CD on your computer, you could bring up the liner notes, the whole shebang, while the music plays.

Back when everybody used vinyl, it was common to find lyrics inside the jacket, if not on the back cover. I get the impression that, with the switch to CD's, it is less common than it used to be to include lyrics. I suppose they're trying to save printing costs.

I've heard that some pop musicians have included videos on their music CD's. It can't be any harder to include text.

I suppose if anyone is going to start doing this, it will have to be those musicians who self-publish their CD's. So you came to the right place!
