Thanks Tim,
I wasn't aware of that. Works great on my notebook as well as on my smartphone (iPhone 6).
But I don't see this "open circle" on my tablet (Nexus 7 2013) and clicking (again) on Playback doesn't show any effect at all.
Do I need to click somewhere else?

Tested the 2.1 version, the song title update is working great. But I still have a suggestion. It would be really really useful to also display the name of the containing directory instead of "Unknown artist - Unknown album". So if the file is located in ...\Some Artist - Some Album\Song.mp3, "Some Artist - Some Album" is displayed below "Song". Thanks again for this update.
Would it be possible for Moode to update the current playing song information via serial?
Artist, title, album/year, samplerate/bitrate
That way an arduino could pick up the data and drive a display.
I know the pi can drive a display but I already have an arduino for volume/channel switching which displays some info already and it would be nice to have it all on one screen.

Hi,
Most likely yes. Do u know of any existing code that can push text out the serial port?

Hi,
Most likely no. Unless the board can run stock Raspbian, then maybe

How about this?
Welcome to pySerial?s documentation — pySerial 2.7 documentation
And this?

Thanks.
I have some other suggestions that are related to the one above:
- I think the name of the containing directory should also be displayed below the file names for the search results in the "Browse" tab; think about the case when you have multiple issues of the same album, currently you can't quickly tell them apart
- an "Add whole containing dir" command for the right click menu would be nice
- as it is, the search feature seems a bit limited; if I have say ...\Artist - Album\Some Song.mp3 and I run a search for "Artist Album", nothing is returned; IMO it should work as "search for all containing words, regardless of order", looking in both the file name and the directory name; if I now run a search for "Artist Song" or "Album Some", nothing is returned

Hi,
Interesting. I don't recall seeing Py on the distro however I did run across a PHP based serial interface (link below). Something PHP based would be the way to go but since I don't have an Arduino board, there is not much I can do.

I am no programmer but I don't think you need an arduino to know what to put in the script. If you want one just let me know.
Mpdlcd shows the data that I am looking for. So however mpdlcd gets its info, it needs a php-serial script that sends it down the serial interface when the data is refreshed, rather than to lcdproc, the lcd driver.
Hi,
Added to my to-do list for investigation. Coding for tag-less collections is "going against the grain" of the existing tag based Player design don't u think? lol

I agree.
But I'm a rather change-reluctant personality Like I said, and please don't be offended because that's not my intention, I think foobar hits the spot in most aspects in regards to ergonomy and those are features that I had become accustomed to from the days when it ruled the world of audio players The 19th century I think? It's up to you if you decide to add those. I still think Moode is better than Volumio.

Hi,
Not true (for me). If I were going to spend time on something like this for a Moode release I would want the hardware to test against. U suggesting that I just cook some code up and send files back and forth, no way.
However, I think your idea is a good one, to have a serial interface for song data built into the player.

Hi,
Maybe u should tag your collection. There are utils that can probably do this automatically as a giant batch process while u chillout with a cold beverage.
Then all problems solved
