Hi gaiastar:  right-click the bar shown in your screenshot and select  "Panel Layout->Show Track Details on Multiple Lines;"  then right-click the bar again and choose the now activated  "Panel Layout->Customize" and use the field boxes to add parameters to the display.

I'm not 100% certain I understand what you're asking for, but I -think- you want more than just the title and artist to appear. And you can do it by right-clicking in the panel near where you have the arrow in your screen shot > Panel Layout > enable Show Track Details on Multiple Lines and then > Customize > add the tags you want to appear. Note that you're limited to two lines and you can't control the font size. I can't recall if this was/is available in 3.2, but my suggestion is to patch to the latest 3.3 anyway. For lack of a better term it's a very stable beta and work will begin in the not too distant future on 3.4.

Try moving the bar to the bottom panel;  do the options show up then?

for custom bitmap skins, multi-line player panel text is only available if that skin supports it.
For single line player panel text, that can be configured in the Now Playing preferences

hi
i guess i had to edit , add something to the skin

edit: i found it here here

Yes, skins ending in xmlc need to have the skin setting enabled when created. But for BeeTunes, it seems working fine if just the setting is added.

Create an xml file with the following code and put it in the same folder as Beetunes and load it instead.

Code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root dependsOn="BeeTunes.xmlc">
<element id="PlayerMultilineSupported">true</element>
</root>

Good find on that code, gaiastar!  Thanks for posting about the solution so others may benefit.
