Description

You can view detailed track information / metadata (eg. artist & album info), including cover art and lyrics, if such metadata is present within the track's file.

Aural Player will also display basic file system and technical audio data related to the file.

Supported metadata formats

ID3 (v1, v2.3, v2.4), iTunes, WMA, Vorbis Comment, ApeV2.

NOTE - Because of the large number of tags, multiple versions, inconsistencies among different audio players and tagging apps, custom tags, and new tags being added to tag specs, not all tags may be optimally displayed / formatted.

There are 2 ways to do this

From the player window (for the playing track)
