[QUOTE="playalistik, post: 2679632, member: 574219"] Sadly, I don't think the 9881 will scroll through the different data fields automatically. I too recently got the 9881 and was wondering if I was doing something wrong. If you look in the manual page 14 (page 16 if viewing the .pdf from alpine's site), it gives the breakdown of the different display modes you can have by repeatedly pressing the "TITLE" button. Lets take a mp3/wma/aac CD for example. Your display mode choices are: file number/time elapsed, folder number/file number, file number/clock, folder name, file name, artist name, album name, song name, file number/elapsed time. So as far as I can tell, you can only be in one of these modes at any given time. I have thought about a possible workaround that might work for mp3 cds, but it would be a big pain. The 'title' field of the ID3v2 tag is long enough to put the artist, album, and track information all in this one field. Then all of the information could be viewed in a single mode. The downside would be that it would scroll all of the information continuously with no logical pauses. Also, you would probably have to remove the ID3v1 tag from the files because it would probably act as the default if present (some of the fields hold less characters than the ID3v2 counterparts). I hope this has helped you at least a little. Be sure to reply back if you find any additional information.
