More Questions On Getting Started

[Merkyn]

1). On some of the longer song titles in my library, the song title is bleeding in to the album title (ex.: http://imgur.com/3UGZTpE).  Is there some way of preventing that from happening, either having the song title get truncated automatically if its too long or the song title font auto-adjusting to fit?

2). After selecting an album from the search screen, all the songs from that album are displayed, and on the right side, other albums from that artist are displayed (ex.: http://imgur.com/st349zx). Instead of that album list, is there a way to have the jukebox display all other songs that artist contributes?

3). Using the above question's image as an example, that particular artist has the majority of their albums posted twice in the "More by Artist" section.  I figured out that the albums posted twice are the ones that have the "Album Artist" portion of the tag filled in, and if that section of the tag is left blank, the album only appears once.  Basically, is there any advantage to having the album artist filled in, or should I just delete all the album artists from my mp3 collection?

4). Is there any way to run the program in a party mode where users are locked out from making any settings changes?

5). Is there a way for the jukebox to revert to this screen (picture included to prevent confusion, as it is also a jukebox: http://imgur.com/52q5qPk) after a certain amount of disuse when music is playing?

6). I have a few songs that are .m4a files and they are not recognized when generating a database.  What is the proper way to get those songs in to the database?

Thank you very much for any help you can provide!

This would need the label resizing in the skin tool to prevent this issue, I am hoping to fix this myself for the default skin in the next release.

There currently isn't and it isn't something i was looking to add.

Did you have use album artist checked when you ran the config? You should keep that tag information. There was a bug with this build that is fixed in the beta regarding album artists, you may have found another one.

4). Is there any way to run the program in a party mode where users are locked out from making any settings changes?

You can set a pin to access the options screen in the security settings of e-touch

You need to set it to switch to now playing screen in the attact mode settings.

6). I have a few songs that are .m4a files and they are not recognized when generating a database.  What is the proper way to get those songs in to the database?

You need to check you have *.m4a in your mask in the config and it should pick them up.
