Thanks for further reply and the information tcutting. Upon looking again, and more closely, at Custom Clock (CC), it does look like it may do what I want, and, yet another great admission, I was being dim - of course the 'now playing' screen is what I see when a track is selected (I'll just go and drown myself now - my excuse is too many players both portable and computer based). I am very grateful for the pointer to the fact that CC does not need to display a clock I was aware that CC is not used for navigating and I am a user of Erland's Custom Browse for that, along with the Custom Scan and Multi-Library plugins as well, but I couldn't see when I was scanning the documentation if CC can detect which library I am looking at, as the Custom Browse menus can. That would be necessary to avoid some really silly stuff appearing for non-classical music (Orchestra & Conductor for starters). I have now just checked my licence info on Erland's site, and as I paid for the complete package (lifetime) I do have a licence for CC, so I will experiment further - I do need to check out the Library support though. Thanks again for the help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arthurb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56956 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105426 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
