Open the Applications.txt file in the Launcher folder in your config. Look for the PlayerName=iTunes line and modify it to PlayerName=WMP. Refresh your skin and it should work.
Normaly if you have a quad core processor, the skin should show all four cores. If it doesn't, try for first to manualy force the skin to show all of them. To do that modify the Hidden option of the [MeterCore3], [Core3Background], [MeterCore4] and [Core4Background] meters from Hidden=1 to Hidden=0. If all four roundlines are working correctly, I'll indicate you how to modify the skin to be more elegant.
If I'm not wrong you can't show separately the temperatures of the cores, you can have just one temeperature indicator.

lets start with the music player then we will get to the cores after, i already named it in the flie to WMP but it still will not work for example i click play on the skin player but nothing happens but when i play it on wmp you can see it in the skin play but when i close wmp out it dissapears in the skin player and when i try to play it again in wmp it does not show it again in the skin player take a look at the edited file here:

what am i doing wrong?

[balala]

On the [MeasureArtist], [MeasureAlbum], [MeasurePROGRESS], [MeasureCover], [MeasurePlay], [MeasurePause] and [MeasureStop] leave the PlayerName option to PlayerName=[MeasurePlayer] (details here).

well it worked a few times after editing i played a list of songs and closed it out a few times and it still worked but i had to have wmp running in the back ground and i had to have all the songs moved to the list on the right side of wmp. But after closing out a fourth time it wouldn't play the songs again like before so it did work better for a minute but now its not again by not showing in the skin player and not playing the songs why does it do this?
am i missing some more editing in the file?
btw the volume on the skin players works great but thats it.

BUT! i downloaded winamp and i rather use that do i do the same thing with winamp to make it work?

To make the Winamp to work, you have to do what you did with the WMP: modify the PlayerName option on Applications.txt file (in the Launcher folder in your config) to PlayerName=Winamp, then refresh your skin. Try it to see if it works, and let me know.

If it works with Winamp, it should with WMP too. Weird! Try to don't change anything else, just the PlayerName=Winamp to PlayerName=WMP option in the Applications.txt file, refresh your skin and check if it works with WMP.
About the thumbnail, try it with some locale music file and see if the thumbnail is there. And maybe give me a link to that idobi radio, to can check what's happening.

http://idobiradio.idobi.com/;stream.mp3
it does work on the ones that have thumbnails in my music folder, but im wondering why not on idobi radio it has a thumbnail on winamp player itself hmmmm.
but some with thumbnails in my music folder won't show the thumbnail in the skin player but some do hmmmm.

[balala]

Sorry, this link is working just with Winamp. I have no Winamp installed, so I can't check it right now, but you could try what I wrote above. Let me know if you can see the thumbnail of a local music file.
