Anyone know how to get the song title and artist to be sent out via the serial cable when a song beings to play? I am not a Linux guru so I could use some help.

Thanks.

John

If you put the following in /empeg/var/config.ini

[output]
timecodes=1

you will get timecodes and FID numbers on the serial port. You can turn these into track titles by looking them up in a list generated by the CSV export of emplode. This may be good enough for your needs.

Is there any other way to get fids and timecodes ?

I want the program I wrote on my empeg to get the current fids and timecodes.
