You need to configure an info source; a backend that Emms can use to get track info (https://www.gnu.org/software/emms/manual/#Track-Information). If MELPA doesn't provide emms-print-metadata, you can get a copy of it and install it with: git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emms.git cd emms make emms-print-metadata sudo cp src/emms-print-metadata /usr/local/bin/ cd .. rm -R emms (thank you to Peter Prevos for the above) You can also the tinytag module shipped with Emms 5.42. First install tinytag with something like: $ pip install tinytag ...then in emacs: (setq emms-info-functions '(emms-info-tinytag)) Hope this helps. -- "Cut your own wood and it will warm you twice"
