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.
