I think something like this might do it: (defun my-emms-track-desc (track) (or (let ((meta (emms-track-get track metadata))) (when meta (car meta))) (emms-track-simple-description track))) (setq emms-track-description-function 'my-emms-track-desc) Idea there is to use first string from the "metadata" attribute that you have attached to the track, if it's there, and otherwise just fallback to default emms-track-simple-description generator. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net
