iPod lyrics hiding things in  ... workaround?
After a bit of experimentation, I found a workaround.  The artist whose name wasn't appearing has a name that starts with an ASCII character.  It looks like iOS is trying to be clever, and ignoring anything that looks like it might be an HTML tag, even if it really isn't!

One simple workaround is to put a zero-width space (you can copy/paste one from that article) right after the &lt;.  Your iPod will no longer assume it's HTML, and it will display just fine!
