Very rarely, on some Windows Vista systems with a very high level of UAC (User account control), Mp3nity fails to start. To fix this issue, please Right-Click the Mp3nity icon, and select Run As Administrator. Normally, this is required only the first time Mp3nity runs.

Please make sure you have the most recent version installed. If you're using Windows Vista with UAC, select Run As Administrator to open Mp3nity. Open Options>Shell, make sure Browse with Mp3nity is checked, and press OK.

Mp3nity uses the same settings as Internet Explorer. So if IE works, Mp3nity must work as well, unless it has been blocked.

Make sure that Mp3nity is on your exceptions list: If you're using WinXP, Open Control Panel>Windows Firewall>Exceptions Tab. If you're using Vista, Open Control Panel>Windows Firewall and click "Allow a program through windows firewall". Ensure that Mp3nity is added and checked. Then try again.

If you're using additional anti-spyware, anti-virus, or firewall tools, try to allow Mp3nity in a similar way.

First Using Mp3nity:

1. Open files in Mp3nity.
2. Select them.
3. Click the Lyrics toolbar button or Download from the Lyrics Tab.
4. If Auto-Update is not set. Click Save All.
5. Close Mp3nity.

Now after you transfer your files to your iPod. Here's how you can read them. Note that this part is taken from the iTunes support page.

1. On iPod, start playing any song to which you've added lyrics.
2. Press the Center button repeatedly. The number of times depends on if you have artwork or not. Here's the order of things when you press the Center button:

   Play status > Scrubber > Album Art > Lyrics/Description > Rating

   If you don't have Album Art or Lyrics, then you'll just see the Rating

   Play status > Scrubber > Rating

Note that older iPod models don't support lyrics. And that some file formats can't store lyrics in them, make sure you see the Lyrics icon in Mp3nity on the Features column of a song.

Mp3nity always attempts to read bad tags and implicitly fixes them when you call Update. No need for a special procedure. To fix all your tags, simply:

1. Select all files.
2. Press Update. If a file is badly tagged or requires updating, it will be updated even if you don't edit the tag. Otherwise, the file is skipped. You can look at the status icon to see which files have been updated.

To completely get rid of old tags, you can call Strip Tag but this will also remove the information that are stored in them.

To force an Update on all files, edit one of the fields (if you have nothing to edit, enter a 'space' in an unused field, then clear it), and press the Update button.

In Mp3nity, you don't need to worry about which id3 version you're editing. All tags are smartly synced internally when they are read or saved. To update all your tags, simply:

1. Select all files.
2. Press Update. If a file is badly tagged or requires updating, it will be updated even if you don't edit the tag. Otherwise, the file is skipped. You can look at the status icon to see which files have been updated.

Mp3nity reads the Artist and Title attributes before it goes searching for the corresponding lyrics. If those two attributes were misspelled or not entered at all, then it might fail to find the right lyrics.

Also, some rare songs and some songs in foreign languages don't have their lyrics online and therefore Mp3nity fails as well.

If Mp3nity fail all the time, make sure it has access to the internet. Please read Why can't Mp3nity access the internet?
If the problem persists, please contact us with details about your system, your connection, your firewall settings, your IE version and such.

Mp3nity reads the Artist and Title attributes before it goes searching for the corresponding lyrics. If those two attributes were misspelled, then it might fail to find the right lyrics.

Also, some songs have titles with very common words. For example, a song called 'You' can confuse the search engine.

In that case, if you're not satisfied with the result, click Try Next in the Lyrics tab. Mp3nity will then try to return the next best match. Repeat if needed.

Mp3nity reads the Artist and Album attributes before it goes searching for the corresponding Picture. If those two attributes were misspelled, then it might fail to find the right picture.

So make sure they are correctly spelled and remove unnecessary words that are not usually part of the official names. If you don't wish to modify the attributes you can enter a customized query by clicking the drop-down menu on the Download button in the Picture tab.

If an incorrect picture is returned, click Try Next, to get the next best match.

Finally, if you give up on automated search, you can manually find an image. Choose Google Images from the download menu, and Drag the best picture and Drop it on one or more files.

If Mp3nity fail all the time, make sure it has access to the internet. Please read Why can't Mp3nity access the internet?
