Remove the clutter from lists

[eddie_the_man]

Is there a way (if not hope it will be implemented) to remove all that unnecessary info from lists? Maybe only keeping rating and duration.

Won't be the way you want it until some pending but broader feature request is implemented. (Such as to have user customize the metadata shown in lists and on now playing screen)

I guess that all depends on what you consider "unnecessary". Ratings for example are something I always turn off.

Some elements in the meta lines can already be hidden or enabled via options. e.g. Show Disc and Show Track Number are available in Settings=>Library=>Lists. Ratings can be disabled in Settings=>Look and Feel=>Player UI. Extended encoding information (bit-depth/frequency) is only displayed for any content which has an encoding format greater than 16-bit/48kHz. Basic duration and file-type cannot be disabled at present.

Longer-term, I've got a Feature Request which basically aggregates a number of older request threads from over the years. It would provide layout formatting strings (global, but also adjustable with a per category override) for the Title line, the Artist/Album line, and the metadata line. But as this system would need to replace a load of existing toggle options and other controls, so it would probably take a lot of programming.

So per your request for example, you might define the metadata line using the formatting string "%rating% %duration%".
