As I was currently looking into FuzzyTime I'm now aware of one important  
problem: as the name says, these formats are title formats. They depend on  
the currently playing title and are only updated on title changes. You  
could of course say, doesn't matter, because the weather doesn't change  
too often ;-). But you couldn't eg. have the player specific forecasts.  
The title format doesn't know the client, but only the currently playing  
track.

> MusicInfoSCR plugin or if it's limited to text.

It's not limited to text, there are already some graphical elements  
(shuffle & repeat icons, volume bar etc.). As long as a format tag does  
return all the information needed to display the graphic. But the problem  
again is that the title formatter doesn't know the client, thus doesn't  
know the player model (graphical or not).
