Just want to tell people that use the lcd section to see what's playing on internet radio, it's necisary to press the show next view button to update it when a new song starts. Thanks,

I should be more specific about this. if I am listening to music and doing email or something else like reading ontent, it is easy to do. I don't have to attend to both at the same time but there are folk who can keep track of several conversations at once. you should hear some people talk on the phone or even face to face. they talk at each other simultaniously and each hears every word.

I think we are straying. you can effectively listen to two sound sources and some can do more than that.

I beg to differ. It is called the cocktail party effect. Its been empirically proven by psychologists. If your in a party and your having a conversation with the person in front of you and trying to ease drop on the couple next to you , you would probably be able to follow your friend but you wouldn't be able to engage them with details and context. You would just be nodding and uh huhing them. This is how the brain deals with sensory information. We hear everything, but we only listening to selected bits from our surroundings and ignore the rest. Well at least it is pushed farther into our unconscious..

lol.  I hear ay.

I really meant I just don't like splitting my concentration. It is impossible for people to listen to 2 things at the same time. Your ears just pick up bits and pieces of each thing and your brain puts the pieces together the best it can.

Yes a know, but I Prefer to avoid that iTunes become the active application only to read the track information, with applescript I can hear the track information and stay with my current application for instance safari mail or text edit.

Bye.

Why not you can assign the applescript to a shortcut commander to discover really fast what you listen from radio without need to switch to itunes.

I Think that is really simple to create an applescript that speak the current song title.

Mike;

When I interact with the lcd section and then stop interacting, there are a couple of buttons in addition to the song info, one is the show next view button and the oter is the show next view button. The song info has a ticker in it so you can actually realtime track the elappsed time.

Thanks, seems to work pretty well, though on the Internet radio station, I can't view the info in detail. Vo will speak what's playing but when I interact with it it says the url of the stream, interesting.

Hi Mike,

use vo to traverse the itunes window with your source open and playing. find and interact with the "lcd section" part of the window and there you will find the info on what's playing.

Hello all,

Was wondering if there was a way to tell what was currently playing in itunes with vo? An example of this would be that I'm listening to an internet radio station which puts the currently playing track in the title bar. When pressing vo f2, it just says itunes window. Was just wondering if this could be done.
