Hi Bjarne,
while I understand the fact that you are unhappy to see the title and author on the same line, divided by the '|' character (and it does look ugly, I agree
) , my feeling is this is completely up to the web radio station to send feeds in a more readable format.
My understanding is that the split on the ':' character was introduced to circumvent a parsing issue RA had between the backend and frontend whereby any string (Title, Artist, CDTitle) passed to the UI which resulted in truncating any sub-string following the ':' character.
My vote is that introducing new rules on how the strings are parsed and shown in the UI would overcomplicate the whole thing and also introduce a case for other users to be unhappy with the solution or to ask for additional delimiters to be used, which would make the thing unmanageable.
Maybe it would be easier and safer to provide your feedback to the web radio station, telling that using the '|' character to separate between the title track and the artist does not look good - maybe using a simple char like '-' would be visually more enticing.
This is - of couse - my own view - I'll let the RA devs to comment on the issue.
Thanks.
