"cdArt" concept - current cdImage with artist fanart support in music visualizations

I really like CDArt Manager. Is there a way to use the cdart for my library as well? I know I could individually change the thumbs, but I was wondering if there was a much faster way to do it. Any suggestions would be great.

What skins does this work with?
Thanks

I'm installing xbmc on a new device for a friend of mine.
When playing a cd the cdart has a really strange proportion. What can I do to get it normal.
See picture (sorry couldn't find a record button on the remote to create a screenshot)
