Feature request - show song meta data

Hi 

Would it be possible possible to show meta data on the now playing screen, or an advanced view accessed from that screen?

So things like the file type, bit rate, year, genre etc. 

Competitors such as Wiim have this as standard and it's a very useful feature. The vaguely remember it was previously available on Sonos too, in an earlier version, but I might be wrong. 

Thank you.

Hi ​@Parsnip62 

Thanks for your post!

It sounds like a sensible suggestion to me! Thank you - I've marked this thread as a feature request and it will be seen by the relevant teams for consideration. Keep the ideas coming!

I also used dBpoweramp for my last ripping session, but was back in 2015. Then used tag&rename, PerfectTunes and iTunes to manage library after ripped. Any library manager will help you find tracks that you need to re-rip due to quality, or check metadata.

What software are you using to manage your library?

I have a free version of dbpoweramp but it has very limited features. I just use it to rip CDs. 

It does have good tagging software for downloaded music.

Thanks. I ditched Apple years ago. 

Same here due to lack of FLAC support.

The free version doesn't seem to.
