What do you mean by file description? FileField Meta can fetch certain bits of ID3 data from the file, but you would have to customise your audio node template file to display the info.

I see you updated module. Now I see the letter "a" but instead description. What is it?

Seems to work OK for me. Try a few things:

Uninstall and re-install the module.
Wipe the theme registry.
Re-save the content type.
Re-save the display in the content type (make sure you select new new formatter: MP3 Player (Default))

In Views not working

You're quite right, sorry I wasn't using a View and for some reason Views serializes the data unlike the node. All fixed and should work in the version that will get packaged up tonight.

Cheers :)

Along the lines of this topic, is it possible to have the description show IN the MP3 Player instead of the Artist - Track?

Also, for my needs, it makes sense to not animate the player but to have it open all of the time. While open, I would like for it to show the description field contents instead of "Track #1". Is this possible?

Right now this is what I have:
[MP3 Player - Track #1] - when clicked [MP3 Player - Artist - Track]
[Description Field Contents]
[Download MP3 link]

Would love to have:
[MP3 Player - Description Field Contents]
[Download MP3 Link]

I am going to just start another thread. This one should probably stay closed.
