About the lyrics problem: It doesn't refresh by regetting the lyrics every 5 seconds (at least, not in the latest version
) so a slow internet connection should not be a problem in any way, though you don't have one, so forget that anyway. I'd be interested to talk to you and see if I can get more info on the problem... contact me in some way if you want. iTunes+ does get lyrics through msig.info, so check that you can access that site if it mysteriously doesn't load lyrics.
Also, I cannot stress this enough: if you have a mysterious non-working problem, please go to Plus > Preferences > Scripts and turn the script debugger on, or open it from Plus > Show Script Debugger if it's already turned on, then in the debugger, select iTunes+ in the script list, perform the action that's causing a problem, and copy the debug log to me, either on the forum or in a message. That will greatly speed up my ability to find the problem and fix it for you.
tinpiliycfa: I could probably do something like this, and if I did I would obviously make it optional (user choice is the way to go scripters, don't tie people into the way you like things!) though if you want a now playing toaster for iTunes I would probably recommend
iTunes Toaster, it looks good and is pretty customizable. It doesn't have a lyrics and get cover link, but it's a good alternative, since if I do this it might take a while to get it looking good. But I will consider adding something like this... would anyone else want this feature??
