Updated..again. Does the track duration and ratings setting work ok?

I love it, and yes everything is working...

One request I have - Could you make it so that the album art is huge when not docked to the sidebar? I have awesome 500x500 pixel images for all my album art. It would rock to have a scalable option...

thanks

You could modify the CSS style sheets manually to do that if you wish. I'd need graphics to do that though, and i dont have any graphics for making a 500x500 gadget unless you'd be willing to do them.

I was also looking for something that displayed 500x500 album art and tried to edit your gadget but the result was pixelated I guess it's because it's retrieving images from folder.jpg (200x200) instead of the mp3 tags. So what I ended up with was a 260x260 background with a 200x200 album display. I'm not good at coding it was basically trial and error, I swapped out the Milky Flavor with a background from another gadget. I'm pleased with the results however I really want to make the buttons look more like wmp is there a way to do highlighted and pressed buttons? Anyways thank for this awesome gadget I hope you don't mind me fiddling with it...

The art is retrieved from the folder.jpg or Amazon, i don't know how to get it from mp3 tags yet. It looks like your editing it properly so unless i can get it to use mp3 tags i guess i cant fix it.

With buttons you'd have to do that manually, editing the .htm

I didnt really put too much work into the buttons as they'll always be on your start menu anyway, as you can see in your screen shot :p

For future reference, whenever WMP crashes (if you cut the power without shutting down for example) it'll automatically disable all plug ins so that can also cause issues.
