Is there a way to display the total track count for playlists and smart playlists? Not track number within an album, but total number of tracks in the playlist. I've been digging and googling and haven't found an answer yet. Any tips would be appreciated!
Workarounds:
* For regular playlists, I can create a custom metadata view that shows position number within the playlist (%ps%), so that by scrolling to the bottom of the playlist I can see the total count. But having to scroll to the bottom of the list is inconvenient, and the %ps% tag doesn't seem to work for smart playlists.
* For smart playlists, the only semi-workaround I've found is to play the smart playlist and then switch to Queue to see the track count. This is less than ideal because it means I have to interrupt whatever I'm currently listening to.
(I'm a relatively new GoneMad user, attempting to migrate from the Rocket Player/iSyncr ecosystem due to the Muma Studios catastrophe. So far I'm very impressed by GoneMad's functionality and customizability.)

There is one variable that allows you to see this on the Now Playing screen, but I don't think it works in the playlist view. TOTAL_TRACKS/QUEUE SIZE = "%tt%" (Now Playing) |

your workarounds are the only options for seeing the total track count for playlists

There are so many other great features in GoneMad. |

I don't think there are any other Android music players that even have the option to modify the metadata displayed. So what you can do is far better than the rest!
