Showing Artist in Playlist / Album View

[tollanarama]

Hi all!

I'm using BaddaBing's excellent Heavy Metal (16x9) skin.

When I view album details I'm only shown track details- this is fine for single artist albums but for various artist albums it does not show the artist info.

The same applies for any playlists generated (now playing etc)

Is it possible to show the artist & track details on the album detail view and on playlists?

If so, how is it done? Oh and can you keep it simple as I'm not that great with skinning!!!!:lol:

Many thanks

you have to change the field "title" in the tags : put artist - title in this field and you will see the name of the artist and the title of the track !

THanks C-moi, but I'm not sure what you mean - what field do I have to change?

(Told you I was a beginner!)

one solution,
goto to the screen with the tracks list, then call the skin editor (key break/pause). select the category : zone where is displayed the tracks list.
in the section category of the skin editor change the field "Display"

change paramater to what ever you want...
If you want "artistname - trackname" use %artist% - %display%

Wow, thanks dgemily!

I'll give it a go - looks almost too easy

Thanks
