Erland, thanks for a great plugin. I'm having a bit of trouble though.
Using this string works great:
ALBUMARTIST=ALBUM:10,ARTIST:5
But when I change it to:
ALBUMARTIST=ALBUM:3,ARTIST:3

and the ARTIST for 5. I've restarted
Music Info Screen and Titleswitcher are great plugins. However,
depending on your music source, the information displayed isn't always
available / relevant.
I think it would be brilliant if you could define a different
screensaver for each music source e.g Music Library / Internet Radio /
