Slideshow whilst playing music??? (1 Viewer)

[crazyfool]

hey guys,
i am a convert to mp after vmc was causing me problems but one of the features i actually liked about vmc is that you can play a slideshow whilst listening to music and the artist album details came up in a small box by the image which looked really good on my tv. Now this is not one of those i prefer vmc posts i just wanted to know if a function like this is available in mp because if it is i cant find it... or maybe a plugin... a yes or no will suffice... thanks

I am using it on a daily basis.

You start the slideshow from Pictures. Use the Slideshow or Recursive Slideshow button.

Two possibilities for the music:
1. If the folder contains a playlist (I think it must be called folder.m3u) the the slideshow will start with that playlist.
2. If a music playlist was active before you started the slideshow, it will continue to play music.

Each song will be introduced with cover, name, artist (provided your music database is up to date). Most skins show this popup in the centre, but I actually love the way Blue3 shows it bottom right. Does not interfere as much with the photo.
