Generally, if you know the approximate time or name of what you downloaded, looking through your browser's history is the easiest way to find the site / address you downloaded something from.

This means that one of these possibilities occurred:
- you didn't install Rainmeter yet, or (just a guess) you installed it in the portable mode
- your file association is for some reason broken

The typical "fix", assuming you installed Rainmeter in standard mode beforehand, would be to right click on the .rmskin file, choose 'Open With...', and then browse for the SkinInstaller.exe file from the Rainmeter installation folder. Obviously, it would be wise to also tick the 'Always Open With This Program' checkbox, when doing the above.

If there's no weird AV / Windows permission to stop you from using the said executable, the next time you double click that .rmskin file, Rainmeter should install the skin.

However I went into the settings and for the media player, it does not give options such as google chrome or spotify?

Is that normal?

What you installed from visualskins.com is the original / old version of the Mond skin. It has since been rewritten and made to work with sites like YouTube and such (assuming you also install and properly configure the WebNowPlaying plugin's extension in your browser!):
https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=42042

However, don't ask me about Spotify, since I don't use it. User xenium explained how to make Spotify work towards the end of this thread (make sure you read its beginning as well, to know the basics about the WebNowPlaying plugin which is installed along with the aforementioned skin):
https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=26619

Alternatively, you can check xenium's advice in this thread in order to get an idea on how to make Spotify work with the original / old Mond skin:

Or, you could PM him and nicely ask him to post here the needed instructions that you should follow. :)
