Hello,
So I just bought this ipod 2 car interface and it supports text on my screen. It displays the first 12 characters of the song name, then flashes the first 12 characters of the album and artist. The problem is most of the time the album will be over 12 characters, and I would prefer to see the album artist rather than the album. I'm not really sure how itunes gets its info, does it look at the tags or the XML file or another file? I would like to change the XML file and swap the ARTIST field with ALBUm and the ALBUM field with the ALBUM ARTIST, so it would show the song title, then the album artist and the ALBUM (assuming it is less than 12 characters). How do I go about doing this? Do I have to have two copies of all my songs or can I just change the XML file? I'm not the best programmer, but what languages do file I/O for xml? Thanks
