Text Combinations

This value is a list of text display box combinations, separated by commas. Text display boxes can be joined together by a plus character to create a new marquis display value.

When determining what to display, Windows Media Player evaluates each item in the list to see if all parts are available. If not, the next item is evaluated, and so on, until all the available parts have been found.. For example, if you want to display Author and Title, but you're not sure whether both are available, use the following value:

Author+Title, Author, Title

The Author+Title will be displayed if the author and title have been defined for the content. If both are not defined, the Title is evaluated and displayed if defined. If the Title is not defined, the Author is displayed if defined. If neither is defined, then nothing is displayed.

Note that you should use Author, Title, and Copyright only in Marquis display boxes, not in Text display boxes.

When using the plus sign for concatenation, be sure you have no spaces on either side of the plus sign.
