@b0ring: Wow! I like Rainmeter! Thanks! :)
Samurize Songbird b0ring
Export song information to text files.
Description
After failing to find anything that would allow Samurize to link to Songbird I created this hacky version which simply exports information about the current track to a text file to be displayed on the desktop. It also works perfectly well with Rainmeter, I just picked a poor name.
It can export this information to three text files through fully custom strings. This is done through a find/replace on place holders put in by the user. Settings can be found by going to the options via the addons screen.
*** It is my first addon, written over a day, so problems will inevitably be found. If you use it, please give me some feedback.
Release Notes
Added preliminary album art exporting, making use of Songbird's "primaryImageURL" property.
This is still done via text files, but samples of how to use it are available in the comment section.
It is *NOT* perfect, but I will hopefully figure out the problems. Feedback would be nice.

@b0ring: Hi! I just test your add-on now (in Rainmeter), but looks like the measure (MeasureArt) to show cover-art doesn't work. The other one (MeasureInfo) is OK, but cover-art doesn't show up over the default cover-art.
Any idea?

Hi
Does it work only for the current song or for a selection of tracks?
Thanks

I have modified your extension.
For me it couldn't change the text files to empty and I debugged it. I also modified the rainmeter skin.
send me an email to moc.liamtoh@tffark.erreip (reversed via http://javascript.internet.com/forms/text-reverser.html)
And I could share it.
If you don't answer in a few weeks I will upload my own modified version and give you credit.

*** Change the variable paths in the skin to match the text export path in the Songbird addon.
Problems: Does not clear when no song is playing; Leaves the previous album art if current album art is not found.
Samurize
*** Put the script into your "scripts" folder; Change the filepath variable in the script to match the text export path in the Songbird addon.
- Add an "Active Script" meter to your config, with draw type "image", select "songbird.vbs" and the function "albumart". Tick to run more frequently and select the number of seconds you want it to refresh. Set up a default image and it will use this when album art is not found.
