  I'm sorry, but there are no plans for this. We think HiFiBerryOS is about music, not bit rates, formats and other technical stuff. We understand that this might not be the opinion of everybody, but we would like to keep only music information in the UI.

  i don't agree,

  codec/bitrate ecc.. are "music information" ,what else ?

  A lot of HiFi/Hi-end Equipment show Technical info about playback track on LCD diplay , it's a must.

  ALL software show  Technical info about track:Roon, LMS, Kodi, volumio ecc.

  I agree about can be disable by default.

  Thanks.

  I agree with Ovimaxy. This information might be invisible by default for those who want to see the clear "only music" look, but is valuable for others and the option to show it would be welcome.

  Check out volumio. The hifi berry team has no interest in developing hifiberry os.

  volumio is too expensive for extra function.
  
  Picoreplayer o moode it's much better.

  i like hifiberry os for clear a simple interface.

  I only use hifiberry os for a Beocreate project I have without a screen. Free volumio does alot. A bit more customizable than some of the others
