You could always set your music path outside your music directory.

I did do that my self.
Setting up 3 dir.
1. Path to Music library: \XBMC\Music
2. CDArt backup folder:\XBMC\XBMC images\CD Art Backup
3. Unique CDArt folder: \XBMC\XBMC images\CD Art
1. My music is there
2. CDArt backup goes here
3. Nothing goes here, when auto download. all art goes here in the Artist folder.
What am I doing wrong, and how can I change a Logo manualy?
Thanks

Which is what I do..
Just the cdart.png and folder.jpg images need to go into the artist/album path... Glad someone else figured that out.. Now I just need to figure out how to get N*E*R*D to work('*' wildcards really kill paths.. )

To have the logo.png, fanart.jpg and extrafanart to be separate from the music library files you need to adjust the 'Path to Music Library' folder. This path is only used for those items. cdARTs and folder.jpgs need to go into the Artist/Album path, this can not be changed.
- giftie - 2011-08-17 19:28
I guess I need to break things down a bit, as it can be a bit confusing..
Settings:
Files & Folders
Path to music library
This path represents the path skins use to access the ClearLOGOs(logo.png) and extrafanart on an artist level. This path does not need to point directly to your music library if you don't want to clutter up your music with ClearLOGOs or extrafanart. You can set up an 'Artwork' path which both your skins and the script will point to.
cdART Backup Folder
This is the path where you would like your cdARTs to be copied to if you use the backup feature from the Advanced menu in the script.
Unique Local cdART folder
This is the path where you would like your unique cdARTs to be copied to if you use the 'Copy Unique Local cdARTs' option from the Advanced menu in the script. Also there is an option right after this for resizing of the cdARTs. This was for XBMCSTUFF.org since there was a size limit to 450x450. This probably will be removed before the scripts release to the Official Repo as this is not needed anymore.
Backup Saving Format
There are two choices here. Artist/Album.png or Artist - Album.png. This is used by the script to name the cdARTs when using one of the backup options from the Advanced menu. Since normally all the cdARTs are named cdart.png the script needs to rename them when storing them in the backup folder.
Custom Colours
This is where you get to select the colouring of the text labels you want displayed within the script.
Extra Settings
Overwrite Low-Res Existing cdARTs
If enabled, the script will look at the resolution of the local cdART and compare it to the one found on fanart.tv. If the local is smaller than 1000x1000 and the one on fanart.tv is 1000x1000 it will download from fanart.tv. This only is used for automatic download, as you can always overwrite when using the manual method. Also Cover Arts(folder.jpg) will always be overwritten as fanart.tv only has the resolution of 1000x1000 available.
Notify During Background Database Build
If enabled, the script will use the XBMC notification popup to show Artist & Album info while the background db is being built. This can be pretty noisy if you have skin sounds turned on.
Notify At End of Background Database Build
If enabled, the script will use the XBMC notification popup to show that the DB is finished being built(it is also displayed for 2 seconds)
Build Database in Background
Clicking on this will start the script building the Database in the Background. This allows you to continue on enjoying XBMC while the script does it's thing. To exit the settings, just click on the 'OK' button.

Thanks for letting me know.
So I started redoing my music lib.
Arist1/album1
Arist1/album2
Arist1/album3/cd1
Arist1/album3/cd1
Arist2/album1
But how do I do this for greatest hits & soundtracks?
- giftie - 2011-08-18 00:19
Greatest hits would still follow the same format:
Aerosmith/Greatest Hits/tracks...
for Compilation CDs:
Various Artists/Album/tracks...
Also, if you are using a tagging program to fix up ID3/APE tags, look in to something that uses MusicBrainz as a source(both the script and fanart.tv use MusicBrainz)

I just installed the addon and went into settings, but there is no place to add my music library. What am I overlooking? (Night skin)
