Transient Info Bug?

This may have been brought up, but not sure. I did a search, and didn't find anything, so...

I notice that if I have two songs by the artist/title (or the same song in my playlist) and they pull up next to each other, the Transient info line will not re-appear between songs (i.e. when the song starts over.)

This happens on different songs, yet with the same name, too. (i.e. If I have one song by Real McCoy, titled "Run Away", but it's the radio version, and another that's the same name/artist, but the 'extended' version, then it won't show.)

Has this been brought up before yet?
Thanks!

Interesting. No, this hasn't been brought up before.

I guess it's doing a string compare to decide whether or not it's the same thing. If so, I'll bet whoever coded it knew that this would happen, and they decided it was rare enough to let it slide.

Considering all the refresh problems they've had with the info screens in certain beta releases, they probably decided to leave the code alone in that area once they got the refresh bugs swatted (if it works don't fix it).

Figures I'd find it, too. And the way I name my files, I'll continue to see it. (In my music collection, I have many remixes and different versions of songs, and instead of putting the 'version' of the song in the ID tag "Title", I put it in my Comments field. (This is where my 'wish' for a customizeable Info:Line text came from)

Now, it happened once, a long time ago, but I ignored it, because I wasn't sure if I saw what I thought I saw. Now it happened, and I was able to recreate it. Not that much of a deal, really, Just saw it and thought I should say something.

Correct. Perhaps it shouldn't be.
