XM song shows Playlist Album

**edrex** · 09-19-2005, 02:59 PM

I tried to search but couldn't find any help on this.
When I play XM stations it acts as though the album name is whatever the album loaded in the playlist is. So at the top it scrolls the current XM song and artist, but also the playlist album name.
Is this a bug or do I have a config setting wrong?
Thanks.

Mine does the same thing, it also keeps the last artist when I switch to FM.

TAGALBUM only works for MP3s... it's not a bug.. it's just the simple fact that XM does not provide that information, so there's no way to display it... You should simply remove the TAGALBUM from your XM skin and live with just Artist/Title...

How about reprogramming the TRACKNAME label.

Currently TRACKNAME provides the following info:

%function:-------MP3--------XM------- FM
%title%--------- title--------title ------ frequence
%artist%--------artist-------artist----station(name)
%album%-------album

Can you program the TRACKNAME label to display in the following manner:

%function:-----MP3-------XM----------FM----------RDS
%title%---------title-------title-------frequence-------title
%artist%-------artist------artist-----station(name)----line 1
%album%-------album--station(name)---- " "---------- line 2
