See, a good configuration screen requires more UI elements though
(need at least a checkbox, table, and scrollbar still
). But yes, what functionality it does have will be configurable then it is up to the developer to bubble that configuration up to the user.

On my Sony headunit, it will display *either* the station number, the artist, the song name, the station name, but not all of them.
Luckily we have more space on our displays to display more information at once.

Sometimes they play stuff I've never heard of and I need some of that info
That would be a perfect example of the use of scrolling. I only use my iTunes library so I don't think about this mystical music through air type thing

Given your iPod remark, that's a rough analogue to XM, isn't it? Playlist, artist, track? Show some, all, none?
I believe so. My POV (see the iTunes plugin as it exists now) is to show all the information at once, but I could see someone doing a mash-up style plugin where space would be more of a premium.

BTW, not to try and introduce even more complexity into the discussion, but there is scrolling left/right and there is scrolling up/down.
Left/Right is all i'm looking at right now. Vertically is interesting and now that I think about it should be fairly simple. Maybe it will be in there...Damn you and your ideas!!!!
