Skinners are already putting in code for so many different commands and features already, what's a few more copy and pasted BYVAR, SETVAR lines of code, really?


Its not so much that skinners have to fix it now, but its more about the professional look and feel of RR. Think of it from the newbies point of view: he spends all the time and effort to install RR, get his favorite skin to work with his hardware, tweaked his system to optimize his CPU and video, and everytime he switches from MP3 to radio - the album and artist data from th last MP3 he played is still visible. Looks unprofessional.

What other alternatives are possible? 1) Leave it for the skinners to fix; 2)Blank the label (that would seem a waste of code and space.); 3) ???

Once you have a chance to come up with any other alternative, lets open up a poll and find out what others think.
