Display Comment Tag from tracks #28

#1

Would it be possible to display the contents of the comment tag somewhere whilst a track is playing ?

Perhaps a little track block similar to the format or collection information blocks

4th icon from the left above the Information Panel displays all the information I get from MPD. Comment will be in there if MPD is configured to report it.

I'm not seeing 'Comment' in the 'tagtype' field in the debug info you posted in the other thread, so that's why you're not seeing it.

Just thinking about this, it might make sense to change the title of the block in the Info Panel from Format Information to File or Track Information.

I didnt expect to see comments from the track there as most of the info was indeed about the file format

just a thought

Trouble is, 'File' or 'Track' only makes sense if you're listening to a file or a track. If you're listening to a radio station or a podcast then they don't make sense either. That panel is more about general info from various sources. The top block is 'Format Information', because it's giving you info about the audio format as read from the player, then there's 'Collection Information' giving you info from the Music Collection, then 'Comment' if it exists. I agree it's perhaps not an obvious place for it but there isn't really anywhere else for it.
