Can you turn it on and off

Yes, it will be possible. This is the way it works: When you want to see lyrics for a song, you just enter the Hijack menu and select "Lyrics Viewer". A press on the knob when it's working will make it go away...



It looks like it is using the synchronized lyrics tag

Yes, it uses synchronized lyrics:

Lyrics are typed like that in the mp3:

[00:00]I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one
[00:05]Trying to find the courage to talk to one
[00:08]I asked her for a dance
[00:10]Not a second glance
[00:12]My night had just begun
[00:14]

I use the current line time and the next line time to calculate speed at which the lyric should scroll. Some tweaking is still necessary but in general, it works quite well... Some difficulty though when lyrics should be scrolled of 1 pixel in a shorter delay than 20 msec...
