Seems like Songbird would require an addon for the task. Don't know anything about JavaScript or XUL, though..

I don't personally use it anymore as iPods are not longer supported. I just thought I would throw that in the ring as it is relatively popular.

This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because . . .

Songbird will require an addon.

Poiru, ill be in summer soon, and i want to learn XUL, so ill look into making an addon for songbird that will expose the metadata, if your willing to add support.
I have three rules when I'm trying to help you.
  • Don't get mad when you don't understand something
  • Be VERY specific with what you ask for.
    The more specific you are, the higher the quality of support you receive.
  • Do not just copy and paste what I put in examples and come back saying it doesn't work.
    It does work, but I purposely left blanks that you need to fill for your specific needs.

Yeah, that would be cool. Let me know when you're working on it and we'll discuss about the implementation details.

It will be a while before im comfortable with using the language. NowPlaying will be quite far in its version before I can begin to write something for it, but I will eventually do it.

Thanks a lot for this awesome plugin and your Soita skin! Being a WMP user, I was almost used to not having extended support for functions in Rainmeter skins, but this is really great!

Thanks again!
