I'm sorry for the dis-improvement. In fact, that's what made me add the patch that truncates the modeline once it gets too long. The composer field also doesn't always make a lot of sense for contemporary music. Most people want to know the name of the band and the name of the song. The fact that, say, the drummer wrote the song is not critical to them. > But, as you say, this is super-easy to customize... Yes, that is exactly my thinking. The basis for the change is that any experienced Emms user would have either long-since customized their track description, or would find doing so easy. New users, on the other hand, need to be given good default. Whether what I did is a good default is up do debate; and that debate is valuable. > ---Fran > > > > On Fri, 2 Feb 2024 at 21:29, Yoni Rabkin <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> I've made small changes to `emms-info-track-description'.
