Great Program! One question, many parts. Does OCD retain the original mp3 file location from which it obtains the ID3 information? If so what is the "tag" name OCD uses to store this in the DB?

A <!--[trackfilename/]--> tag was added back in 2003, but it was later removed because it caused more problems than it solved, according to Andrei. Combined with the <!--[path]--> tag it would probably have provided the information you want.

See the 'Using a "play" button in HTML output' thread in Templates and Themes (http://www.firetongue.com/boards/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=dax;action=display;num=1068256076;st art=6#6)

You can always retrieve the path and track filename using javascript. Take a look at the modified CMI template (CMI_PLAY) and Crisp theme (Crisp_PLAY) at htttp://ocd.juventas.net. They should give you an idea of how to retrieve the desired track info.
