I would like VLC to say the filename, metadata or at least the track to be played's position in the playlist before the track is played. Is this possible?
There are two use cases:
1. Listening to unknown music. Would be great if VLC could tell the track name and artist before (and possibly also after) the track so you what you are listening to without having to look at your computer.
2. I use a homegrown solution (VLC and Google Docs) to transcribe long playlists with sound files. However, when I later on read the transcription I have no idea which file it came from. If VLC could mention the filename or so before playing it, hopefully it would be interpreted by Google Docs and written "in the middle" of the transcription, making it easier to find the original file.
