Titles options

Here you can choose how XMPlay should format the title of the tracks, based on the tags contained in them.

It is possible to override a track's tags in the Track Info window.

These are the items available for use in the formatted title:

%0 = Filename
%1 = Title
%2 = Artist
%3 = Album
%4 = Date
%5 = Track
%6 = Genre
%7 = Comment
%8 = Filetype
%9 = Subsong

Some formats don't have tags, eg. MOD formats just have a title "tag". This could make the titles messy when elements are not available, if it wasn't for the fact that the formatting can vary depending on what tags are available. For example, the default formatting is:

%?2{%2 - }%?1{%1|%0}

This means if the artist tag (%2) is present, use that and place " - " after it. Then, if the title tag (%1) is present, add that, otherwise add the filename (%0).

The length of the title (or parts there of) can be limited with the "%cut{A|B|C}" function, where "A" is the string, "B" is the length limit, and "C" is an optional replacement string. For example, "%cut{%1|10|...}" would limit the title to 10 characters and append "..." when the limit is applied. If the replacement string would take the length beyond the original length, then the original string will be retained instead.

When a cue sheet is present, XMPlay will use the title and performer info from that when it is not available from the track itself.

Include subsong count with subsong number

When a track is a separated subsong and the title format includes the subsong, the total number of subsongs will also be included in the form of "subsong/total" if this option is enabled.

Update title from cues

If enabled, the title will be updated at cue points.

Tray title bubbles

When XMPlay is minimized to the tray, and this option is enabled, a bubble containing the new title will be shown next to the tray on track changes.

Fullscreen vis title bubbles

When in fullscreen vis mode, and this option is enabled, a bubble containing the new title will be shown on track changes.

Scroll title

This sets whether the title should be scrolled in XMPlay's window and/or in the taskbar. The title will only be scrolled when it is too long to fit.

Refresh all tags & titles

This tells XMPlay to rescan the tags/titles for all tracks, which may take quite some time if there are a lot of tracks.
