Tag Info Display? - 11/04/2003 12:38
Uhm..
This may be a dumb question (I'm on a roll this week..) but.. has anyone written a very simple program that will show /all/ the tags (or a configurable list of tags) in the currently playing MP3 file? i.e. To replace the "Details" screen?
It seems to simple, and there's into on the details screen that I'd like to see..
Just curious.
Me.

I use emphatic to get access to the ID3v2 comment field. According to the readme it supports these tags:
artist, title, source, year, genre - self explanatory
comment - the track's ID3v2 comment field
plays - number of times the track has been played
lastplay - the date the track was last played (mm/dd/yyyy)
trackelapsed - the current elapsed time in the track
tracklength - the total length of the track
ppos - the position within the current running order
plength - the total number of tracks in the current running order
bitrate - the bitrate of the file
duration - the total track duration in ms
size - size of the file in bytes
codec - the codec (mp3/wav)
You can use these to create your own custom info display, with horizontal/vertical scrolls... pretty neat. I am guessing here, but it *looks* like the comment field is the only actual ID3v2 tag, the others are probably taken from the players database. Tony?

Bingo. Others would be available, and there are a few that have been asked for, and will probably be in the next release.
