Had a problem reloading info for an artist this morning myself. would hit reload and it was all just blank. This seemed to fix it for me. Music scraping in xbmc is a crap shoot it seems to me. not as easy as tv and movies. only this past week have I gone in to fix everything adding artwork and info. My first problem was extrafanart not caching for my other installs to pickup. Found out there absolutely needed to be a jpg in the artist directory named fanart before it would cache extrafanart.
folder directory as i have it on mine is
D:\Music\eminem\
Aritst.nfo
Fanart.jpg

If anything you can export music library to separate files and thumbnails, fanart. should add all the files xbmc scraped for you that you didn't add yourself to your music folders. then remove and clean library then readd.
Maybe that is my problem I don't have album.nfo, and I don't know how to do it. here is my music structure:
C:\Music
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\Track1.mp3
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\Track2.mp3......etc
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\folder.jpg
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\cdart.png
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\fanart.jpg
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\extrafanart
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\extrafanart\fanart1.jpg
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\extrafanart\fanart2.jpg
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\extrafanart\fanart3.jpg
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\extrafanart\fanart4.jpg
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\extrafanart\fanart5.jpg
C:\Music\The Police - Greatest Hits\extrafanart\fanart6.jpg
The same structure is for all of my music, the problem is my music is not properly tagged, that is why I want to use my own fanart,because the scrapper didn't pick anything.
Thanks in advance.
Hey BTW maybe we can do a teamviewer and you can see my library, and also I'm willing to pay for your advise. Thanks in advance
