You need to give it both the 64 and the 32 bit version of the plugin.

Also, NowPlaying is included in the Rainmeter install and should not be included in a skin package.

Its the same with every Plugin in the install Folder.

For example AdcancedCPU.dll; Sysinfo.dll; iTunesPlugin.dll.

I cant find a 32 bit download of all these Plugins.

If you see the plugin on this page, that means it is one of the plugins that is installed with Rainmeter. All Rainmeter users already have these plugins, and you do not need to include them.

You should only add a plugin to your .rmskin package if it is a "third-party" plugin: one that you made yourself, or found somewhere else.

Please read the Rainmeter 101 guide. Things will be much more clear afterwards.
