[Feature Suggestion] Media Applet - Display Song Info for Radio Streams

[ Edited ]

The LCD Media Display currently only shows the station title while listening to an internet radio stream and not the song title or artist.

 

I posted a guide a few months ago on how to modify the applescript file to make it show the song title and artist with radio streams. 

 

This should be added as a default feature. It would be a very easy modification, as you can see below.

 

Select the folowing text in bold:


if my appisrunning( "iTunes" ) then

tell application "iTunes"
set this_name to the name of current track
set this_artist to the artist of current track
set this_album to the album of current track
set songDuration to the duration of current track
set artwoks1 to artworks of current track

set artworkData to "" 

 


and replace it with this:

 


if my appisrunning( "iTunes" ) then

tell application "iTunes" 

if (class of current track is URL track) and (get current stream title) is not missing value then
set this_name to (get current stream title)
set this_artist to name of current track
else
set this_name to the name of current track
set this_artist to the artist of current track
end if
set this_album to the album of current track
set songDuration to the duration of current track
set artwoks1 to artworks of current track
set artworkData to ""

Yeah, I guess I can see how you could have assumed that I was asking for a feature instead of submitting one.

I changed the title to Feature Suggestion. Hopefully that will be a little more clear.

 

Thanks for the reply.
