again, i'm working on the xm radio script (it's really coming along, and i plan to post it in the next few days after a few more kinks are worked out, and i 'project mahemify' it)
is there any way from within a python script to set the artist and title attributes for the current playlist item? the script runs the visualization as the background for the "you are currently listening to:" page, and when it firsts loads it is annoying to see it display the uri that it is playing. any ideas? i wish the programming i do at work (c/c++/vb6/asp/...) was as engrossing as this is.

thanks to some help in another topic on this forum, i have been able to look at the code for playlistitem, so i know that this is not currently possible. :(
if there are any xbmc devs reading this could you pretty pretty please implement "set" methods to complement each of the "get" functions in this file:
xbmc/xbmc/xbmc/lib/libpython/xbmcmodule/infotagmusic.cpp
i would do this myself because it doesn't look like it would be very hard, but i have no way of testing, as i don't have the xdk

i'm going to post this in the feature request forum too, just in case its more likely to be read there.
