VLC for Android and Chrome OS • Re: Android Auto: Can location of track info be customized?



Thanks so much, Robert! After seeing the various options, my favorite is the one that puts the Track Numbers at the end of the Title (in the bigger font), although I realize that is probably one of the more complicated ones, because the number of digits can vary.

Other notes (with the caveat that I may not be accurate in my assumptions):
– Personally, while I like to have the Track Numbers available, I feel they are the least important among the rest of the information–probably because I am usually in shuffle play of my entire library, making them irrelevant other than to know how may total tracks are in my library.
– Given the two lines available for the Title, I think it makes the most sense to include the Track Numbers with the Title, because the truncation will be far less frequent (only with very long Titles) than when it is included on the Artist – Album line (occurs with almost every track).
– I think putting the Track Numbers at the beginning of the Title distracts from the Title.
– I think the Title is the most important, so I like it being on top in the larger font (as it is now).
– If it is possible and not overly complicated, perhaps there could be a “Track Number Display” setting that allows individual users to choose among: (1) Beginning of Album – Artist [current position], (2) End of Title, or (3) Off.

In any event, I am really happy with how VLC works with my Android Auto, and these are just minor tweak requests. I really appreciate your work on this and for considering my feedback.
