Your buttons rely on the measure [mWA], yet you don't have a measure by that name.
Yeah I just went through and found that was missing as well, just last night. Kinda disappointed I missed that. :/ Must've deleted it somewhere along the way. I am sort of mashing together info from 3 different skins and between work and lack of sleep and trying to squeeze as much time out for RM as I can I found I've been making lots of silly mistakes lately.

Thanks for the correction, I really appreciate it.

If you jump from an album that is has got the art for to one that it cannot find, the default art does not load, it stays on the previous album until it finds the new art, something like 3 minutes before the Eagles - Desparado replaced David Bowie whilst test/integrating into my current experiment :0

Can you pop a list up of the currently supported measure like Album, Duration & so on - are are all of them in the demo skin?

I'll release an update later today, which will most likely fix this.

Everything so far is in the demo skin. I'll be adding more (e.g. VOLUME, STATE, etc.), but more about that later today.

Been a little busy, so have to delay the next release by a day or two. Here's a little progress update:

- Added a few MediaType= options (namely VOLUME and STATE [paused/playing/stopped]).
- Added a few new bangs (SetVolume, ShowPlayer, QuitPlayer, Pause).
- I've also implemented foobar2000 support. This requires a foobar-side plugin (name will probably be foo_rainmeter.dll, similar to the CD Art Display foo_cdartdisplay.dll plugin) to communicate with the NowPlaying plugin. Foobar doesn't expose methods to retrieve track information by default, so there is no plugin-less approach, unfortunately.

Do you want to see something else?
- Retrieve some other information (in addition to track, title, etc.)?
- Bang(s) to control something?

I want to be able to bring up the file selector to pick new music. Something that appears to be missing from Winamp Windows messages. Then I'll have to edit my skin to run with Foobar... :o

Do you mean to bring up the filebrowser? This should do it...

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [!RainmeterPluginBang "mWA SendMessage 273 40029 0"]

That brings up my FileBrowser using the WindowMessagePlugin

Hmm, there must be another list then, the one linked stops at 253! Thanks for the tip, will resolve that one momentarily... :D
