I'm not sure this is correct. I've read that the ID3 properties of the
MP3 file may include a text transcript (I think it has to do with ID3v2,
though I'll have to dig up my old references to be sure). If that's the
case, then the barrier has to do with ITunes and the IPod-- nothing new
on that score.
