Great, thanks, I'll try it out soon.
Update: %trackpos worked fine, but the other three new parameters wouldn't work for me. I checked out the source, and couldn't see any reason why they'd be different - unless perhaps the iTunes COM interface has changed (I use version 7.0.1.8)? When I tried using any of the other three (%tracklength,%trackremaining, or %playerstate) I just saw the pattern displayed on the target label.
One other thing - if iTunes uses [] in the artist/album/track string, it causes xlabel to choke. This isn't particular to your version, but it might be addressed in a future update, i.e., "escaping" []'s so that xlabel will display them properly.
