I don't know where to post this, here or in Albumplayer forum. Problem only happens with Albumplayer, Winamp and iTunes working just fine.
It happens when I add Various Artist albums stored in folders named Various Artists - Name of Album. Files are encoded in mp3 and have proper tags with names of each artist and song names. CD Art Display shows Various Artists instead of name of song artist. It seems like CD Art Display reads artist name from Albumplayer instead of tags. Does it make sense?
If there isn't a way to read tags, maybe you can add variables to match Albumplayer, i.e. %TrackArtist% %TrackTitle% etc?

Yes. CAD gets the information from AlbumPlayer.

CAD takes the "Artist" field from AP which seems to be the album artist.

Since AP also gives the "TrackArtist" I think CAD can use it instead.

Please try build 383:

Wow! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Works like a charm... Quickest response I've ever seen from a developer!

Do you think it would be possible to include more variables into the next build? Like Track Artist and Track Title?

CAD tries to follow the Winamp ATF Reference regarding formatting (thanks to noroom).

Anyway, the CAD "%title%" means the AP track title. And now the "%artist%" means track artist.
