Viewing Information While Listening to Tunes

You can view different information in the Information window, such as the name, artist, and album of the currently playing song. When you first view this window, it contains a timeline bar that represents the total length of the song being played (see Figure). A black diamond indicates the relative position of the music you are hearing at any point in time compared to the total length of the song. At the top of the Information window is a line of text. What appears here changes over time; it automatically rotates between the artist’s name, album name, and name of the song currently playing. You can freeze this display on a specific attribute, such as song name, by clicking the text.

Each time you click, the information will change from album to artist to song name. Whichever one you last clicked on will remain showing in the window. Underneath the album, artist, and song name line is the time information. This can display elapsed time (the amount of time a song has been playing), remaining time (the amount of time a song has left), or total time (the song’s total length). Unlike the name information, this display does not rotate among these values. You can set the value being displayed by clicking the text; each time you click, a different time value will be shown until you have rotated among all three values.
Finally, if you click the Change Display button, the display will become a graphical representation of the volume levels at various frequency groups. You can return to the title information by clicking the button again.
