Thanks for your reply. Sadly, it still doesnt display the timer. But thank you
Must because of the Spotify thing, I don't think a timer has ever worked for it. I guess.

The Mond player uses the NowPlaying measure, which only partially supports Spotify.
For full support of Spotify, the WebNowPlaying plugin must be used.
First add the file below in Documents \ Rainmeter \ Skins \ Mond \ Player.
Then right-click the Rainmeter icon in the taskbar and choose Refresh all.

You have 2 options to use Spotify/:
1. The simplest option is to use Spotify Web Player.
Install WebNowPlaying_2.0.3.rmskin and the plugin will be installed automatically:
https://github.com/keifufu/WebNowPlaying-Redux-Rainmeter/releases
Then install the browser extension:
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webnowplaying-redux/jfakgfcdgpghbbefmdfjkbdlibjgnbli
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/webnowplaying-redux/
Then load the PlayerSpotify skin.

2. The second option is to use Spotify Desktop Player.
Here you also have 2 options:

2a-Install only version 2.0.3 of the WebNowPlaying plugin (see the link above).
Then load the PlayerSpotify skin.
In this case the skin will work, but multiple artist names not showing, showing only the first artist name.
If this does not bother you, you can use this option.

2b-For full support of Spotify Desktop Player you must install version 1.2.0 of the WebNowPlaying plugin, and Spicetify.
Install WebNowPlaying_1.2.0.rmskin and the plugin will be installed automatically:
https://github.com/keifufu/WebNowPlaying-Redux-Rainmeter/releases
Install Spicetify:
1. Access the link: https://www.deviantart.com/xenium-art/art/Advansity-UPDATED-09-FEB-2022-847234085
2. Follow the Spicetify installation instructions in the Music Player-Spotify Desktop Player section.
Carefully read the instructions for the first command!!
At the end, if the commands were entered correctly, Spotify will restart.
Then load the PlayerSpotify skin

Hello. I tried options 2/2b. And it didnt work. Still no timer, and no artist name etc.
I can't try the webplayer option because it spotify webplay has never worked well on my computer in any browser, the music is cut off and glitchy.

I will try option 3, though i have tried Spicetify before in the past with no luck. I will have to try again some time but i am not hopeful. I prefer trying to get option 2 to work. But thank you for trying to help, I appreciate it a lot.

EDIT: Tried option1 the webplayer anyway, since it works ok on chrome. Installed the extension etc... but no luck. the skin is still not showing anything,

If you followed the instructions exactly, it should work.
For me, it works both with Spotify Web Player and Spotify Desktop Player

Spotify Web Player + Chrome + WebNowPlaying extension

Spotify Desktop Player + Spicetify

Be sure to use the attached file, PlayerSpotify.ini !

Right-click on the Rainmeter icon in the taskbar and choose About, then the Plugins tab and see if the WebNowPlaying plugin is in the list of installed plugins.

Install this version of the Mond skin that supports Spotify and see if it works:

This seems to be working with the Spotify WebPlayer. I can see the timer. But I can't get it to work with Spotify Desktop Player. According to your post, you mentioned an option 2a. That's what I really want to use, since I don't actually use the web player. I use desktop. But hey, at least it works with the webplayer, so know that I have the plugin installed at least haha. I see it in the plugin list.
Thanks for at least helping to get that working. Is there anyway to get it to work with the Desktop Player?

Which version of the WebNowPlaying plugin appears installed in the list of plugins?
