I have been working with this applet for several days.  I am creating a
"now playing" screen for my Squeezebox Radio based on the STYLE: CS
Basic Digital Clock - with track info and short date.  I have re-sized
the clock and have it and the date as I like it; my problem is with the
track info.  In short, I would like to eliminate the "Album" data so
only the Artist and Track names are displayed, or alternatively alter
the timing of the display so long album titles finish displaying before
the track title overlays it.

It appears that the various switchingtracktext itemtypes are not
configurable, so the alternatives are the tracktext, trackplayingtext,
and trackstoppedtext.

I don't understand how to use the title format keywords as described in
the "Custom Clock Helper" documentation here: "tracktext - A text label
where you can enter title format keywords which will be replaced by
real values for currently playing track, see description of the text
attribute for more information about possible keywords."

I have tried entering simply "track", "artist", %track" and "%artist"
but each simply displays exactly what was entered, not the actual
artist or track.

Primarily I am using my Radio to listen to Pandora, and the
switchingtractext itemtype displays everything appropriately, with the
exception of the timing.  That is why I wish to use the tracktext
itemtype.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
