Minibrowser Musings

17th May 2000, 06:27

Add a feature where a URL (local or web-based) can be entered into a .m3u playlist and automatically displayed in the minibrowser (example: I have playlists for all my CD's and would like the cover of the CD to automatically show up in the MB).

Also, bring back the drag & drop capability to the MB (went away somewhere around v 2.50)

A URL in the 'comments' tag of the id3 info will automagically be passed across to the minibrowser when that mp3 comes up.
so record 1/2 a escond of silence, and tag it.

Damn, that's a good idea! I thought about posting the URL in the first track for each album, but based on how I store my files (by artist rather than album) it could change the picture mid-playlist (on a greatest hits playlist, for example). Will try and post the results here. Thanks!

Uh-oh! Can't get the MB to display a URL from the Comments field. Not working for local OR web-based URL's. Help!!
