After installing Hijack. When I'm in the track view there's a thing that says "Plays: #" # seems to be how many times I've played the song. It gets in the way of some of the album names. Anyone know how to turn it off?

You can't.

Many of us really want this removed.

You can, however, edit a file on the empeg that contains the string ``Plays:'' and remove it, so that you're just left with the number, which could help. I can't find the post about it right now. I'll update in a little while.

It's not part of Hijack, BTW. It's in the standard empeg software player.

Here you go.

Maybe we could get this added to the FAQ, Tony? I know you don't like to put bug stuff in there, but it doesn't look like this misfeature is going away, as no one from empeg has said much about it.

FITNR. Configurable on/off via config.ini

[display]
play_count=0

Defaults to play_count=1

Since I've been harping about it for so long --

There's one waiting for you.

Thanks for everything.

Perhaps you don't have TNR that it's FI?

(clue: FITNR = "fixed in the next release")

Question, in the next release, if you disable the play counter? will it keep incrementing, and just not show the counter on the screen? Or does it disable it completely?

Since the option is under the [Display] section, I think that's a hint that it only affects the display.

Don't feel bad - a bit of New Feature Excitement causes us all to lose our heads occasionally!

Yeah, it only turns off the display item. It keeps counting.

Well, let's take that to the next level.. If we all chip in and buy you a hundred cases or so, can we get voice recognition, customizable fullscreen info modes, a visuals API, and ID3 editing in Emplode?

For that, you'll probably have to buy the senior execs a couple of hundred cases as well .

By which time they'll all be so drunk that they'll have forgotten what we got them the beer for

Personally, I'd keep the beer, drink it myself, and probably end up talking to the empeg anyway...

"[hic] ...yer my besht mate, so y'are... [hic]"

...and the room will start spinning just like the Toilet Floor visual...
