It will play the lyrics to any song it matches that has lyrics included. I have several non Amazon purchases that do this but it has to be match on Amazon's Cloud Player or it wont work. I have not tried added the lyrics manually to the tag to see if that would work.  |
I tried to use the Amazon Cloud Player first to import music but it gave an error saying I was required now to use the Amazon Music Importer which I installed.
Also, I tried several times to just copy files to the HDX and received two warnings: 1. file may not be visible; 2. file may not play correctly. Since the Amazon Song Importer actually changes the file structure, that may be true. I looked at file names with Windows Explorer of those I was trying to copy versus those which were imported to the HDX and they are substantially DIFFERENT. The Importer CHANGES the file names and structure.
That problem did not exist in the HD but, even then, I could only sync files from Windows Media Player to the HD but, when I tried to copy, the "paste" function was greyed out. With the HDX the "paste" function is not greyed out but I did get those two error messages and halted the copying.
I also found that prior music files I had imported a couple of years ago stayed in the Cloud along with new files for the same song. Thus, I had two copies of many songs which could not be deleted from the Cloud. One had the high grade music and lyrics and the other file did not. I had to leave both on the Cloud but was able to delete one copy on my HDX.
Due to the file name being exactly the same I am not sure now if I deleted the proper one on my HDX especially if lyrics were not involved. It would take too long to actually play both copies of each song to see which had better quality.
Also, files downloaded to my PC of exactly the same songs as were on the Cloud did not have lyrics or high grade sound. It appears the HDX firmware is required to get that and the PC does not have it.
I also found that Amazon placed dozens of songs free into the Cloud for me with similar genres as those I like. I could play them on the HDX but could not download them to my PC. Maybe they are meant as free samples to encourage the customer to buy more.
I also found that all songs Imported were matched to the Amazon catalog of my purchases and those I had purchased in the past were not subtracted from my 250 non-Amazon song credit. In the end I had about 90 slots for free songs to still import. Since I only buy songs from Amazon now, those slots will never be used.
