[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 624077, member: 27204"] Hi baldytheman, afaik at present there is not an easy (possible?) way to do this. In fact, there is not even a way built into MP to display the data you can lookup (i.e. using F9/info key and artist/album lookup) even though that data is stored in the MP database. I know that cul8er has added a plugin for use with xfactor which does some of this. You may wish to check that out, although it is not what you are suggesting. It is always hard to say "no you can't" and then find out someone has come up with a unique way of doing it. LOL With MP, someone always seems to be figuring out new ways to do things we never knew were possible. It is certainly a great idea and one I also hope can be added to MediaPortal. I really like your suggestion of exposing such data in Now Playing while a song is playing. There are many possible ways to do that. One idea would be something like what Harley did in his new Fidelity skin where you press the Info key to get more detailed info in a screen. Anyway, I just wanted to say I love the idea, and if you don't mind I may get back to you when the time is ripe for further elaboration? [/QUOTE]
