How to stop abbreviating song names?

beerninja · 9th September 2006, 18:31

Anyone know how to get the playlist window to stop abbreviating my mp3 song names and just display the whole thing? I named all my mp3s with Artist - Album - Song name.mp3 and it just keeps cutting off the album name in the playlist.

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean. Can you attach a screenshot in your next reply showing us what is happening?

If you want Winamp to use the filename instead of the tag/metadataâ€¦

1. Winamnp > Ctrl+P
2. General Preferences > Titles
3. In 'Advanced Title Formatting' replace the string with...
$filepart(%filename%)

Okay. I see...

Ctrl+P for Winamp Preferences > General Preferences > Titles

Change the default option under 'Advanced Title Formatting' from the default, which is this...

[%artist% - ]$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%))

to this instead...

[%artist% - ][%album% - ]$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%))

[EDIT]
I just now saw JonnyMac's post above

Do it his way, or if you want to used Advanced Title Formatting, do it my way.
