Newbie Q - How to get full track (file) name from database

Postby pocketmoon on Tue Jul 26, 2005 7:33 pm

Hi,

I'm trying to launch an external player and pass %parameter% as the file name.

All I get is the paramater at he item level, which is only the album folder. How do I get the subitem parameter (full file path and name) ?

Cheers,

Rob

sounds like you want "%musicdetails>parameter%" and not "%music>parameter%"
