I want to extract ID3 information like artist name or song title.
Is it possible ??

[The Rhino]

well this from the default skin gives you that

<!-- Song Name Ticker -->
<text
id="songticker" ticker="1"
display="songname" default="" showlen="1"
x="103" y="8"
w="157" h="14"
font="wasabi.font.default" fontsize="13"
/>

but if you are trying to break it up i have no sure was of doing that

thanks ,but I try to break it !

[The Rhino]

here are the params for getmetadatastring so it is definately what you want

/**
getPlayItemMetaDataString()

Get metadata for the track currently playing. The metadata field names that
are available are the following:

**ADD LIST**

@ret The requested metadata.
@param metadataname The name of the metadata field you want to read.
*/
extern String System.getPlayItemMetaDataString(String metadataname);

[The Rhino]

try these
System.getPlayItemMetaDataString("Title");
System.getPlayItemMetaDataString("Artist");
System.getPlayItemMetaDataString("Name"); System.getPlayItemMetaDataString("Album"); System.getPlayItemMetaDataString("Genre");
