As outlined in Team Forum post - http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-releases-315/hardcoded-labels-music-now-playing-overlays-80076/ and in User Forum Post http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-1-0-rc-1-496/hardcoded-labels-music-now-playing-overlays-80032/

"Track" is hardcoded in #Play.Current.Track and #Play.Next.Track
"Year:" is hardcoded in #Play.Current.Year and #Play.Next.Year
"Duration:" is hardcoded in #Play.Current.Duration and #Play.Next.Duration
"Objects" is hardcoded in #itemcount

As a result, skins have no way to display the data without the labels, or to format the labels independently from the data.

h4. Steps to Reproduce
Best seen on Music Now Playing screen, or Music Overlays (scrolling text) when music is playing.

#itemcount can be seen on most Blue3 screens (not RecordedTV) although it is not implemented by all plugins.

h4. Additional Information
#itemcount appears to work differently in Music Songs/Tracks view where it reports #songs and total time - may need consideration

Skins can still use localized labels as they all appear in the strings files.
