Audio Spring Board Display Options

I'm playing live streams and I need to display something different from what's available with either the Audio ContentType ('Album' and 'Artist') or the generic type ('Title' and 'Description'). My audio files do not have embedded metadata, so roAudioMetadata isn't an option.

What I'd like is to display a song title, artist, etc, similar to what you'd get from AudioMetadata. I've tried formatting the description but can't seem to get newlines to work.

Is it possible to get the result I need and, if so, how? I have to admit that I'm more than a little confused by the docs. If it's there and I'm just missing it, a pointer would be much appreciated.

There is a trick to new lines - "abcdef"+Chr(10)+"12345"

Re: Audio Spring Board Display Options

That's an awesome trick. Thank you.

I've also been playing around with drawing my own player with roImageCanvas, and it doesn't look bad. I'd like to approximate the look of the roSpringBoard just to keep things uniform though. Being completely lazy here: is there a cheat sheet of page layouts somewhere? Is there someplace to see the coordinates of the standard pages?

I don't think there's a list of coordinates, but you should be able to figure them out from the templates:

If you take a screenshot with your app running - you can pin it down to exact coordinates in any graphics program.
