The problem with displaying the song title and artist name.

The problem with displaying the song title and artist name.


When I play music through RadioBoss Cloud (where the same songs are in the RadioBoss program playlist), it correctly shows the artist name and song title separately. However, when I play music through RadioBoss, it displays the artist name and song title as one. The issue is that my website shows previously played songs, but it doesn't differentiate the artist and song name when they are combined. I want the artist name to appear in large and white text, while the song title should be slightly smaller and light gray. As I mentioned, this works when the music is played via RadioBoss Cloud, but not when played through the RadioBoss program. The metadata is shared the same way as when playing through RadioBoss Cloud.

This happens because RadioBOSS Cloud has access to tag information, to get artist and title separately from there. While streaming from RadioBOSS, the title data is transferred as a single string (not separated into individual fields), that's why it's displayed as a single line.

But I have added %artist% - %title%
Or does radioboss not support having separate lines ?

Title format "%artist - %title" is processed and the result is a single string, and it's what is sent to the streaming server.

So what is the solution to eventually have the name of the song and the artist on separate lines on our website ? The result should be as it is when I use radioboss cloud to play music. I want a solution to this

In one of the future RadioBOSS Cloud updates we'll add an option to make it separate a single string into artist/title. Thank you for the suggestion.
