I need help with CDart

Hi Folks,
I need help with CDart.

I'm using XBMC 11.0 and installed CDart yesterday.
I already searced the net, but I can't find a tutorial.

Can someone please give me a Brief overview on the right Settings?

My music is stored stored in seperate Folder for every artist with subfolders for each Album (c:\Music\artistname\albumname)
Will this work this way or do I have to store my Music in a different way?

I'd like to have my music displayed like this:

Thank you very much!

Is this what you say you installed?

If you music is all properly tagged then XBMC can add it to the library properly. Then, when running this addon it will search you library and download the appropriate art. If I remember correctly, you have to configure the addon to point to you music filesHuh

Hi Joe,

this is exactly what I installed on my system.

The question is A) is my music tagged the proper way? (I have all my mp3 tags filled out, is this enough for CD art Manager, or do I have to set them up in a different way?)

and B) how can I point to the music files in a proper way? I have stored my music in a big Folder called "Music" and have subfolders for each artist with subfolders for each album.
So is it enough to just point to "Music"?

A) That should be fine as long as it has correct Artist and Album tags I think.
B) This should also be correct. Yes, point to the root "Music" folder

Have you also scanned the music files into the music database? (i.e. Library)

Also, note that not all skins support displaying cdart.
