    I have a similar problem, but I noticed something that might be helpful:

    I think the problem exists because the song is put into the "Recent Tracks" listing BEFORE the track information is received from the streaming radio station (ie, the track is added to "Recent Tracks" before even the Floater recognizes that there is a new song).

    I came to this conclusion because, when I first saw "msng" being displayed in the "Recent Tracks" list, I went to the Preferences for Synergy (while the current song was already playing (so the information was already taken from the radio server and the floater correctly identified the song and artist)) and I altered the settings in Synergy to display the artist in addition to the track name in the "Recent Tracks" listing. When I did this, the proper name of the track and artist FOR THE SONG ALREADY PLAYING was listed in the "Recent Tracks" list (it listed the name of the song, NOT "msng"). HOWEVER when the next song came on, we were back to the same problem of "msng" showing up.

    So i think its a refresh issue. Perhaps putting in a bit of a lag between when the song is displayed in the floater and when it is listed in the "Recent Tracks" list would solve the problem?

    Thanks for your time.

    Thanks for the input, KG. I think it will be useful in addressing the problem.
