Not sure how much more of a problem this would be, but it would be cool to throw some user stats from the scrobbler in there as well, with an option.

Not scrobler data but you could do a script which could fill up the now playing view with data (like the recently added script). So if Dropkick murphy's is playing you could do via the script:
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method...b7b2e0a026
And there you get alot of information.

Oh, now there's a nice idea! I wonder if anyone with some Python skills would be willing to take this on? Really just needs to be able pull Artist, Album, Song info based on arguments passed...

Maybe its time for me to learn python?Oo

I would very much like to see MusicPlayer.(Biography) be available in the Vis window to show the Artist's Biography

Currently there is only ListItem.Property(Biography)


ronie Wrote:many skins already show the album cover and a certain amount of info alongside the visualization. also note, some things you're looking for are not possible,
for instance displaying artist biography or album review. those things are not available to the skin in the MusicVisualisation window.

a list of things that can be done, is available here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=InfoLabels
only the MusicPlayer.* and Player.* infolabels are available on the MusicVisualisation screen.
