ive started using xbmc one week ago so im fairly new
im using Trancparency! theme:
i have added many full albums, and carefully renamed, re tagged all of them and the results are quite good
My problem is as follows
i added one folder which contains a lot of mixed music there are no sub-folders in it, i re-tagged all songs to have
album name >> Limewire Folder
Album Artis >> Various Artists
Now what happens is that after xbmc scanned all the files it did 4 different things
1.) for the artists that it recognized to be already in my collections it gave them correct FANART and put "Limewire Folder" as a new album among their albums.
2.) for the artists and songs which it could not find already in my collections, xbmc used the scrapper to download new FANART for the artist eg. shakira - she wolf
3.) for the songs which it could not identify, it uses the default FANART that i put in the folder as fanart.jpg and folder.jpg
4.) Annoyingly it thinks more than 70 percent of all music is made by COLDPLAY,
i want to know 2 things
A.) what is the proper file format to be followed when making a compilation for xbmc
like ..... Limewire folder/akon/konvicted/smack that.mp3
or ........Limewire folder/akon/smack that.mp3
because currently all i have is ... Limewire folder/smack that.mp3
B.) seeing that shakira was found by the scrappers and her fanart put in along with a couple other songs it identified correctly ,,, i suppose there must be a manual way of telling it the FANART for each song .. i have been crazy enuf to download a lot of pictures to be used as fanart for songs in this folder plz help me use them appropriately !!!
