G-Force/Whitecap in iTunes & Internet Radio Track Text

cellness · Post by **cellness** » Fri Feb 18, 2005 4:18 pm

I've noticed that when using G-Force or Whitecap (I have Gold and SE) and playing an Internet radio station on iTunes (Mac OS X), the track text only shows the radio station, not the song playing or artist. The interesting thing is that it will show the radio station when each song changes (since auto-track is on).

Note that the iTunes visualizer will show the song and artist, as well as other 3rd party utilities such as Synergy.

Can this be fixed or added?

Thanks!
Marcel

Thanks for the follow-up, we do indeed try to keep current on the many media players that we support and this is definitely on the feature request list, so thanks for mentioning it -- we'll try to get it into one of the upcoming releases assuming the functionality is indeed supported (and documented) within Apple's SKD / APIs.

Regards,
Key

Ok, cool. Like I mentioned, I know at least one 3rd party app can get the info from iTunes, Synergy (http://wincent.com/a/products/synergy-classic/), so I'm sure that the API is available somewhere, if not directly from Apple.

Thanks!

I just upgraded to G-Force Platinum 3.0 and noticed this hasn't been fixed yet. Any idea when this will be fixed or where it is on the priority list?

Thanks!

It's built into iTunes. When you log onto the radio station, at first the track window shows the station's name and then it changes to the name of the song playing (if that information is streamed by the station). But switching to G-Force at that point results in only the name of the station.

This has been added to G-Force 3.0.1 and should be out in 1-2 weeks. Sadly, iTunes made adding this a big PITA b/c of the way thy do certain stuff.

thanks,
