Dynamic title using the player, using tags
« on: April 26, 2025, 04:13:25 PM »
I got a bit overwhelmed while trying to find an answer in the forums, so I've decided to just ask.

In MusicBee I'm setting up a template for how songs are displayed. (screenshot included)
I like the idea of just adding tags with artist, guest artist, remixer, etc. and then having it display in the way I like with a template.

My question is, is there a way to do this in RockBox?

Well the tagging system is the theme, so in a way yes.
You can always create or modify an existing theme to display tags how you want them. It's even encouraged license-wise; all themes in the RB themes section can be modified and distributed without special permission.

If you're looking to make a separate "tag display template" to apply it without modifying a theme, sadly that's not how rockbox themeing works. It shouldn't be hard though to edit a theme since you already know how to work with a tagging system. All the references you need are in the RB manual, or you can also ask here.

Oh awesome!
I'll look into it when my new iPod battery arrives.
Thanks!
