Hi,

I am brand new to JRiver and am evaluating it and loving what I'm seeing so far.

I have large number of DJ mixes in my library recorded from the radio as single mp3 files (BBC Essential mixes for example) and was wondering if there is anyway to display the a tracklist of the mix as any part of a now playing view?

I know something similar is possible for Lyric lookup for more traditional music, but I was thinking along the lines of the Noire Track Info view but with the ability to show the content of a linked txt file perhaps?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Welcome.  I don't think there is a way.

Sometimes mixes like these have a cue sheet which has a list of the tracks and the timing. That allows MC to show the mixes as individual tracks. You might look and see if your mixes have cue sheets available.

Here is an example of a cue sheet for an Essential Mix. Not sure if there is a source for all the shows.

You might be able to create cue files manually from the track list, although it is a somewhat daunting task unless you can automate it.

You could create Particles. This will let the different songs show in the interface as "virtual tracks".

Thanks for the replies and suggestions guys - food for thought.

After playing around with various features I stumbled across the "Notes" Field in tags for my MP3 mix files, and found a visualization that displayed multiple panes including album art as well as the contents of the Notes field!

JACKPOT!!! 

I just need to learn some of the visualization editor steps and should be able to create a custom view to show the mix of visualisations and notes I am after.
