Re: How do I get the track info?

[Edgar Lux]

Yay! it works. I made it even shorter (emms-all loads really everything). 
Thanks!

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (package-initialize)
  (emms-all)
  (setq emms-info-libtag-program-name 
"/home/yrk/devel/emms/src/emms-print-metadata"
        emms-info-functions '(emms-info-libtag)
        emms-player-list '(emms-player-mpv)
        emms-source-file-default-directory "~/Music/")
#+end_src
