Title: Artist Info
Post by: Two Wire on March 24, 2005, 10:53:02 am
Is there anyway to read the Bios field in the file tag by clicking on Artist Info under Playing now? I have dial-up and it takes forever to find this information. Often the song is long gone by the time this information is grathered.  Since I already have the information I want stored in the bios fieldIs, it makes sense to me to use this info which is available now.  Currently, the only way I know to access the bios info, is to read the tag info in the Action Window.

You can use a track info template like this one

Look for Multi Info

It has a bios tab.

Thanks, imjustagamer! I downloaded the file and un zipped it and read the documentation, but I do not know how to intergrate it into MC. I tried various things in the skins directory of MC, but no luck. Any ideas?  Thanks

Put the unzipped directory inside Program Files -> J River -> Media Center 11 (or Media Jukebox) -> Visualizations -> Track Info

Go to "Playing Now", right click on the display and chose Display -> Track Info -> Multinfo.
The track info page should appear now.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Deivit! That did the job. I was trying to put the unzipped data in the skins folder.
