How can Details be synced with currently playing?.

Post by OldPilot »

I cannot make the Details window display the current playing track in mm4. When a certain track is playing it will be correctly highlighted in the right-hand display of the "Now Playing" column. However, I would like to see the details information for that track. To do so, I have to scroll up and down to find it in the details window. It takes time and the highlighting is not particularly enough emphasis to make it "pop out". Is there a setting to make details sync with what is currently playing?

Do you mean the Art & Details window: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... Tracks/4.0

In that case make sure it's set to the Playing tab instead of Selected.

Thanks. I did get it to work, but not sure I fully understand how. The tab was set to "Now Playing"

But there is a tool bar at the top left where I can right click the 'home' symbol and a drop down shows where I can select now playing there. Doing so allows the details window to automatically scroll up or down, as necessary, until the playing song is highlighted in the middle of the screen. That's what I needed. What would be better would be for the playing track to be displayed with more than just highlight---maybe a different color text or background would help to make it "pop out".

Thanks for the help
