Jaded Scorpion Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Please give us option to disable album name in now playing screen. At first I thought skin devs would be able to do this. But one of the skin dev replied that it's not possible for the skin devs to do. So I think Max could do something about this. Thank you. @maxmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 The skin dev was correct, the Artist/Album field is provided as one string rather than two items, so can't be isolated by a skin. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirkbeen Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Totally agree. I'm a brand-new user to the app and this is the very first thing I started hunting in the settings for. In my case it causes the tags to pull into the wrong fields when my phone is connected via bluetooth to my car - the artist and album are jammed into the artist field on my car's display screen while the album field redundantly displays the running time of the track.

Not sure this is the same issue. AFAIK the Bluetooth data is passed as separate fields. The combined string of Artist - Album is just on the Now Playing page for Poweramp. I have two cars with Bluetooth, both show 4/5 separate fields distinctly with Playlist, Title, Album, Artist, and Genre (genre is only in the Jeep, not my Buick). @dirkbeen are you using Android Auto when this happens, or some other interface?

andrewilley Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Correct, BT sends the details as separate fields. It's up to the receiving device as to how it handles them. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirkbeen Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Huh. I wonder why this issue is occurring for me in that case... it seems oddly coincidental that the receiving device would combine artist and album title in this way, though, with a space-dash-space between them and everything... I previously used Google Play Music and didn't have this issue; tags naturally pulled correctly. @MotleyG no, nothing but the bluetooth sync option in my 2016 Toyota Camry.
