TSongInfo

The TSongInfo object is used to store information about a song.

Example

(more examples and methods can be found in the PAL Quick Start Guide)

Reading currently playing song information

This script will read the song information of the track loaded into DeckA, and then display the information.

var Song : TSongInfo;                     // Declare a container for the TSongInfo Object
Song := DeckA.GetSongInfo;                // Assign the song information from DeckA to the Song container
if Song = nil then                        // Check for an empty Song Container
  WriteLn('No song loaded into DeckA!')    // Write an error checking message
else                                      // If the Song Container is not empty then process the following
  begin
  WriteLn('Artist: '+Song['artist']);      // Write 'Artist: ' followed by the track Artist
  WriteLn('Title: '+Song['title']);        // Write 'Title: ' followed by the track Title
  WriteLn('Album: '+Song['album']);        // Write 'Album: ' followed by the track Album
  WriteLn('Duration: '+Song['duration']);  // Write 'Duration: ' followed by the track Duration
  end;
Song.Free;                                // Release the Song Container

Notice how we test if Song = nil, because if that is the case, trying to read information on the song object will cause memory access violations since the object does not exist.
