TITLE (COMPOSER) ~ ARTIST ~ ALBUM (EXT/BITRATE bps) It depends on what you're talking about. Do you mean using the built-in Squeezebox server or using a Squeezebox Server running elsewhere? And do you mean the title formats shown on the Touch or on other players? Using the built-in server you can still set different title formats for other players such as the SB3, but you're stuck with the predefined formats and can't create custom formats. The formats have to be set from the players' remote interface since the built-in server has no web interface. The custom title formats have no real use in the Now Playing screens on the Touch itself, as the main NP screens all display track title, artist and album, with no ability to customize it. The 'artwork+text' and 'text only' NP screens look a lot like the Now Playing area in the default web skin, with TITLE, ARTIST and ALBUM displayed on three lines. The most limited are the title formats shown on the Touch when using the built-in server. You get TITLE and nothing else, not even track numbers, when looking at the track list of an album. In the Current Playlist you see TITLE on one line, then ARTIST - ALBUM on a second line and it's not configurable. A couple of things may be customizable if you enable remote logins, then use an SSH client to SSH into the operating system and edit the server preferences file. I expect many people will want to do this and expect it to be pretty painful for anyone attempting to walk them through it. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77137 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

If you are in Touch mode (the buttons are visible) you can touch the top bar which gives you a menu from which you can every bit of information the database has on that song. I haven't figured out how you do that in "remote" mode though. This menu can show you everything that is in the tags for the song. I don't use iTunes so I don't know if it stores info not in the tags, and if it does if SBS can get at that info. Others that use iTunes will have to answer that one.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Display info character size
In addition to the no artwork mode there are two sizes, referred to as small/large, or touch/remote or 3/10. The small size is used when you touch the screen, it has smaller text and buttons. The larger size is used when you use the IR remote, it has larger text and no buttons. The 3/10 means 3ft or 10ft, the distance that mode was designed for. Thus if your Touch is much greater than 10ft away even the larger size may be too small. Its a little bit smaller than the largest font on the SB3. In my case the rack is about 15ft away and the largest SB3 font is just big enough, but the "10" Touch font is just a little too small for comfort. If you are in this situation some form of controller with a local screen might be best. I'm going to use second Touch for that!

I mean is it possible to disable cover art and therefor use the whole width of the display and choose a larger character size ? I always have the character size on my SB3 display set on large, otherwise I can't read the info on the display from a few meters distance. If it's not possible to change characte size on the Touch, I'd be more or less forced to buy a Controller as well.
