Is it possible to Customize the Track Display in Mini View like Standard View?  Is this a function of the skin?  I did a search but couldn't find anything.  Has this been a requested feature if it is not currently?

[Mr ChriZ]

It looks like it's a feature of the mini skins.
If you look under
M:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 11\MiniSkins\
You'll find the mini skins folder.
Under each skin you'll find a main.xml
If you look at main.xml you'll find a section called <INFODISPLAYS>

Heres a sample section from SonixMedia

So theoretically you can just change the trackInfo Parameter to what ever is you wish to display.
The following page gives you info on how to set the trackInfo Parameter to get the customisation you desire.
Do a search on trackInfo

Be warned that there was a small bug found earlier today when using TrackInfo Visualisations earlier which may effect this also.

Thanks for the timely and detailed response.  It put me on the exact correct path and the links were very informative.  There was some things in the JavaScript file that I needed to change also.  This brings up another question.  How do you retrieve custom fields or other library fields that aren't predefined for skins (i.e. [Rating])?  Can that part be done in the JavaScript part of the skin?  I'm not sure what developer information I should be looking at because a lot of it seems plug-in based.
