tag display control
After searching for hours I could not find any information on the following:

AVS is great. But after a new song starts, ID3 tag information like artist and song are displayed only for a couple of seconds and then disappear. I need it to display all time long. Is there any way to do that?

Any help is appreciated.

I am looking for the same thing. Did you find an answer to this yet?

Perhaps post something in the AVS wishlist. Also, it *might* be possible to write an APE for this, then you could specify font, time displayed, etc. in the actual AVS file

I don't think that any of the file is passed to the APE class so this may not be possible through APEs. The APE gets the visdata and thats about it as far as I know.

With Winamp2 the APE could do a DDE request to winamp for the song title. I know VB can do it, so why not a C++ dll.

Well, if you tried hard enough you could analyze the visdata and figure out what song it was from that :D
