(setq emms-track-description-function 'fc-emms-track-description)

(defun fc-emms-track-description (track)
  "Return a nice description of TRACK."
  (let ((desc (emms-track-simple-description track)))
    (if (string-match "^/home/forcer/snd/\\(musik/\\(artists/\\)?\\)?\\(.*\\)" 
desc)
        (match-string 3 desc)
      desc)))

The result of `emms-track-description-function' is used as %s in
`emms-mode-line-format', which should be mentioned in that
docstring.
