No, Squeeze Ctrl does not retrieve track number or album artist. When Squeeze Ctrl adds a song to the download queue, it requests some additional info about the song aside from the url and file id. When it's adding a single song, the command used to retrieve the info can return as many pieces of metadata info as needed. Unfortunately, the commands that Squeeze Ctrl has to use to retrieve a list of songs to add to the queue (like adding a playlist or album), limits the amount of metadata returned per song to 8 items. These are the 8 items: Title Album Artist Duration Compilation - no artist is returned for compiliations, so this tells the app to set the artist name to "Various Artists" Genre Type - mp3, flac, etc. Coverid - so Squeeze Ctrl can retrieve the cover art for the song. To keep things consistent between adding a single song and adding a list of songs, I restrict the list to the same 8 items even the LMS command used can handle more. -------------- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96757 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
