And you're still seeing the log error that says "!WriteKeyValue: File not found"?

I'm really not sure what's wrong at this point. If you don't see any error in your log, then Rainmeter is (or thinks it is) successfully writing to some file.

I've made a simple test skin for you to try. If some part of this doesn't work, there may be a bug of some kind, related to either Rainmeter or your system. (You will need the latest beta version of Rainmeter to use the skin.)

Instructions: The "Create File" button will delete the existing "file.txt," create a new one with blank fields, then refresh the skin. The "Open File" button will open file.txt in your text editor. The meter showing the contents of "file.txt" should update immediately when the track changes, or within 10 seconds if you change the file manually in Notepad.

thanks you very much!!!
but there's another two problems:
1)how can i force the txt to encode with utf-8 or unicode, it couldn't show japanese
2)could it create 2 txt files? 1 for the artist name only, and 1 for the track name only, without containing any other words(e.g. [Variables], "Artist=", "Title=")
