Question about music.
I've imported my music library. All files tagged properly with cover art incorporated into tag.
If I play in party mode and hit tab I get the screen with the background animation and it will show artwork, bio, lyrics and everything.
But for simply browsing my collection by artist for example I have no band poster, fanart or anything.
If I click I for info then it will automatically get the poster, fanart, and bio.... universal scraper addon I believe?
Doing this one at a time will be very time consuming. How can I automate this process to scan download the artwork for my whole collection?
Also I noticed on fanart.tv that there is clearart and everything else like for movies.
Is it safe to assume that clearart.png disc.png and logo.png are all valid files?
Also if so should I assume normal file structure like in movies...example
music\band\
clearart.png
disc.png
logo.png
band-poster.jpg
band-fanart.jpg
Will a extrafanart folder work with this as well?
Lastly, I like to have everything stored locally.
Is there an addon that will download all of this to my music folders like artworkdownloader does for tv and movies?
Will it create an nfo for the band biography?
One more thing I just noticed on fanart.tv
Just browsing artwork for a particular band and noticed they have cd art for every title.
Should I have each of these in there corresponding album folder? Will these be displayed if I do this?
And once again will an addon automatically do this for me...
