I have 350 movies and haven't had any issues either, but I have over 9000 songs by over 800 artists. that many images at 720p would take up quite a bit of space. If it is all stored on the drive that stores the music it probably wouldn't be an issue but if you scrape from XBMC then I don't think that is possible.

Hello mr mcnally!

I am curious, have you seen J River and the way their Media Center deals with "fan art"?

They use Google Image search, and it, of course, ALWAYS displays something, which is great... way more powerful than relying on other people to create fan art, and I would never waste my time doing that... so I dont expect many serious music fans would either... Google does a great job, I so hope some smart skinner implements that instead of fan art to play in the backgrounds...

What do you think?
