Some variables expect a time format string in Delphi's FormatDateTime notation, see http://www.delphibasics.co.uk/RTL.asp?Name=FormatDateTime

By using + signs in the variables, you can access the data of the subsequent (next) items in the playlist.

For example %+a retrieves the artist of the next item, not the current one, %++a the artist of the item after the next item, and so on.
