I agree this would be cool. Since the .js files make calls to SqueezeCenter to update the album art/song info, I tend to think SqueezeCenter itself would need to be updated to support biographies or even lyrics like it supports the album art. I could be wrong though. I'm no programmer either. Just basing this on my limited knowledge of the .js files and how they call SqueezeCenter. It would be cool though. -- starfleetcommand ------------------------------------------------------------------------ starfleetcommand's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20604 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53975 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
