Version: (using KDE 4.2.98) Compiler: gcc (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) 4.3.3 OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled From Sources since amarok exists, I missed the ability to display the channel mode of an audio track: if it's stereo, joint stereo, mono, etc... I really think that a media player like amarok should be able to provide this info. XMMS does this since ever ;) I made this very small patch, which adds this information to the "summary" tab of the "track details" window. The information is retrieved on the fly when it is accessed in the dialog (using the TagLib library) instead of being stored in the database. It would maybe be worth discussing if this info should be stored in the database, in order for example to be able to display it in the playlist. But this would imply much greater changes to the sources and also rebuilding of the database... It should work for alle filetypes supported by TagLib. Comments are appreciated! Pascal
