TITLE -> Tsumugi, Radio rock et geek
FILE -> http://listen.radionomy.com/tsumugi
The artist and the title are in the section "Now Playing", separated by a dash (like that : R.E.M. - Losing My Religion).
Ah, I see. I'll see if there is anything I can do about this. If so, I'll update the libcad plugin for VLC :)

Ok thank you :) However if there's a mean to recover this information using the libcad plugin, I wonder if it would be possible to use it to display the lyrics. Because I think the NowPlaying plugin, using as PlayerType=LYRICS, uses informations contained in ARTIST and TITLE, no?

Yes. I'll see if I can extract the 'Now Playing' field from VLC through the libcad plugin and send it off to NowPlaying.dll.

Hemmh.. I use winamp as my standard player and when I play a webradio file (file.pls), NowPlaying give me the right Artist and Title, but not the lyrics.
It freeze the last lyrics (from a normal file.mp3) and show whose lyrics and don't show something like N/A.

Lyrics support is not an official feature (it's missing from the manual entry). I'll see what I can do about this when the lyrics feature is made official.

As an FYI - doesn't seem to be picking up data from the newest iTunes beta.

Apple seems to have removed the COM API documentation from their pages. Lets hope this is just a coincidence and that Apple hasn't removed the interface from the upcoming iTunes versions..

How do you get Soita to work with music bee through CAD?
Also is there any way to make it smaller?

Use Player=CAD in the skin and make sure the 'cd art display' plugin is enabled in MusicBee Preferences -> Plugins. Make sure you refresh the skin (right-click -> Refresh skin) and then restart MusicBee.

As to making Soita smaller, no, there is no easy way. You'll have to play with the X=, Y=, W=, and H= values in the skin. You could also consider using some other (smaller) NowPlaying-based skin.
