1. It seems to cache the information.
Correct.
In screensaver mode this is solved in MusicInfoSCR by emptying its cache when the screensaver is activated, but the same does not seem to work in now playing mode.
How do you change ratings? Do you add a format handler or something for these?

This is normal debug output (you're running with d_plugins?) which should be displayed with almost any ARTIST or ALBUM tag. What other tags are you using in the Now Playing mode?
