Where did you change all this? What skin are you using?

Post your code here, and perhaps someone can spot the problems, and how to repair them.

The minute it becomes possible There is currently no way to retrieve that info.

Now is it possible? Thanks

Edit:
look at this link

The libspotify library is used to implement a custom Spotify client (instead of interacting with the official Spotify client). So no, it's not possible at the moment, sadly.

Ok,
Watch as they retrieve the cover art from the spotify API
http://ws.spotify.com/search/1/track?q=...
and
https://open.spotify.com/track/...

this is a websearch api. it is used to guess a track's ID.
the NowPlaying plugin does not need to guess, it knows this ID already, else it wouldn't always display the right track name, artist name, etc.

the link to the album art (which is nowhere, neither in the search, nor lookup api for good reason on Spotify's behalf) would be:

no, you can not access these images.

With Spotify, NowPlaying can display only the track and artist name, which are obtained from the Spotify window title. I know that it is also possible to obtain the track ID in a (very) hacky way, which would allow the retrieval of more thorough information. At the moment, I have chosen not to use that hack.

there's not much to gain anyways.

what you is called scraping.
if you do that with your skin, that's fine. you and nobody else will be held legally responsible for that.
although a lawsuit is unlikely, do not expect this to be implemented in Rainmeter (or any other software).
