An Introduction to Audio/Media Tags (Meta-Data)
MP3/OGM/MPC (and other) formats can contain information about the audio it carries within a special TAG.
This tag can contain information such as title name, author, etc...
Since the video area isn't in use while audio is being played (in Media mode), Zoom Player can use the video area
to display this information. Using the values below, you can determine how this information is displayed.
Enable TAG display
When this setting is disabled, no TAG information is displayed (at all).
Auto-Hide TAG information
On some systems you wouldn't want the TAG information to burn into the screen. To prevent this, you can have
the information hidden automatically after several seconds.
Hide folder image when hiding TAG
When hiding the TAG information automatically, you can choose if you also want the folder (album) image to
hide as well.
Outline font
Weather the font should be outlined or not. Outlining the font is a bit slower but gives the font more visibility
against image backgrounds.
TAG Display Position
You can have the TAG information displayed in one of nine positions on-screen.
X-Offset from Display Boundaries (pixels)
This is the horizontal distance from the edge of the screen in which the TAG data is displayed.
Y-Offset from Display Boundaries (pixels)
This is the vertical distance from the edge of the screen in which the TAG data is displayed.
Auto-Hide TAG Information time (seconds)
This is the number of seconds from the beginning of playback till the TAG information is hidden automatically
(if the Auto-Hide setting is enabled).
Enlarge Fullscreen TAG font by
By how much to enlarge the TAG font when Zoom Player is in Fullscreen mode.
Set Font Face
Clicking this button allows you to select the font face (type) used to display TAG data.
When playing non-english content, you may want to select both the font and the Script
language (the "script" pulldown list available for some fonts within the font selection dialog).
You must select a proper script language to display non-english TAG information.
Set Font Color
Clicking this button allows you to select the font color used for the TAG display.
TAG display script
This is a mini script that allows you to choose which TAG information is displayed and in which order.
Only TAG fields that contain information are displayed.

<TrackName>: Name of the Track

Width
Since no video is loaded, this value sets the default width for the video area. This value gets overridden if there is
a folder image in use for the playing file.
Height
Since no video is loaded, this value sets the default height for the video area. This value gets overridden if there is
a folder image in use for the playing file.
Reset
The reset button restores default script/width/height values.
