Whatever the idea, it will have nothing to do with the skin. Moving to feature requests...

ok maybe nobody understand, what I want its make some kind of xml page where i and anyone can post funfacts, trivia, info about music artists/bands so it can be pull to the music visualization screen.
I dont know if is possible or you need to make an scrapper or a plugin, you will be only pulling text data.

not exactly. even if you download the xml, a skin cannot parse it.... you need to make the info available to the skin somehow, easiest is probably setting some window properties from the script.

mhhh... So you mean an script because I would need to start it automatically every time a song is play, then match the artist and display the associate info.
-too bad i dont know phyton, I have to start reading.
so I need to setup a website, that can accept users entries and save it to xml. but what would be the best method in terms of organizing the structure of the website and i mean something very simple, like find the artist/band enter fact/trivia and add or request artist/band.

that would be up to you to figure out, whatever your script likes. the info available to search with is pretty much what is available as info labels, i.e. artist album songname etc
