    You could try changing the format of the metadata under the "Preferences" page.

    with foobar2000 or mp3tag you can add id3tags named however you want. airtime will recognize any id3tag-field you applied to the file. even if it's not default. we use a custom tag-field called "mood" and airtime recognizes it well. so if you apply a field named "showname" to a file, airtime will recognize.
    to have a good handling for many users, you should use a defualt field like "composer" which is usually unused. we tell our staff to use the "album"-tag for show names, because airtime has db-fields for file-uploader & file-ownership to sort by owner/uploader.

    so we sort by following tags:
    Genre (Music: Electronic, Rock,... Misc: Show, StationID, Intro,...)
    Album (Music: Albumname Misc: Showname,...)
    Artist (Music: Track Artist Misc: Radio Station Name)
    then set airtime-stream-settings to
    if i combine this with setting airtime-stream-settings to "Show - Artist - Title",
    it guarantees the correct display for webstream when a preproduced show is aired.

    here you can find the id3tags of different file formats. http://age.hobba.nl/audio/tag_frame_reference.html

    It's just inconvenient. We can use same tracks in different shows.

    Thanks! But it sets only title. I'll change a little append_title() in ls_lib.liq.
