Scrolling Text Renderer
I have searched and tried, however have been unsuccessful to continually scroll text renederer "$(playlist00) $(playlist01)" in marquee fashion. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

$(playlistXX) is an unrecognised command.
The proper command is $(title), you can use $(title:XX) to crop the title to a number of characters, and use $(title:n) with the playlist position number preceding the title. You can also combine the two: $(title:nXX)

Scrolling the text, like in the main Winamp window is not possible, but some tricks can be done.

You could use a small font (so all of the text fits into the screen - text size is in pixels, and isn't relative to the window size), then use a Dynamic Movement to increase the it size and for some scrolling movement.

I've attached an example.

/edit: Make sure you have pixel doubling off if you use Text!
