How to display the artist's name?

[LukeDawson]

I have a sizable collection of mixed cassettes and CDs. To accurately reflect the shifting artists, I am using the track listing tab's "artist" column for each. When I check at these entries in Pocketpedia, the artists don't appear to be displayed. only displays track and time. Am I overlooking it or do I need to "switch on" anything to view the artists?

Hi and Welcome to the Bruji Pedia forums.

You are quite correct in that the additional information stored in Edit > Track > Artist or/& Composer, neither Field is imported into Pocketpedia for an iPhone due to screen size restraints.

However, on an iPad either Artist or Composer is displayed not both, again due to screen size restraints.

Though I suppose that you could post a request in the "Future Requests" forum.
In that the Artist and Composer information could be displayed on the iPhone & iPad under each Track # & Title. But just be aware that this will then make each albums displayed information quite long requiring some scrolling.

E.G.
Track #. Title
Artist: or Composer:
Track #. Title
Artist: or Composer:
Track #. Title
Artist: or Composer:

(remember only occupied fields are imported and displayed)

Thank you for the feature feedback. It displays on the iPad, but not the iPhone to save space. But something that should be an option or updated with the next version. Although not displayed it's still searchable if you find Pocketpedia in the settings app and have "Search All Fields" on. Because CDpedia is album based it means it's one level of redirection to go looking in the tracks and hence not part of the default search, for speed reasons.
