How is it possible to show artist logos beside the spinning cdart as shown in the Aeon MQ3 screenshots in the 1st post ?

I have downloaded cdart manager and the link for the artist logos have been directed to my music library. Other skins like T!, simplicity are showing are logos.

Hello
I have only had limited success with Artist Logo's. I originally had by Music as
d:\Music\Album Name
However, I could not get artist logo to work, so I changed it to
d:\Music\Artist Name\Album Name
I then ran each part of CDART Manager and this is the result
I just can't get it to work for compliations
That's because it relies on the Album Artist i think
You won't have to change your folder sructure. Just set a seperate image path.

Thats a shame... I was hoping there was someway to get it work, as artist slide shows works ok, just not the logo...
I'll go read the cdart manager thread and see if there is a work around
This solution works fine for me:

It seems the skin can't pick the logos from the custom set logos directory. So I looked into Home.xml and changed this line
Code:
<texture background="true">$INFO[Player.FolderPath]/../logo.png</texture>
Code:
<texture background="true">$INFO[Skin.String(CustomMusicLogoPath)]$INFO[ListItem.Artist,,\logo.png]</texture>
Then I changed the same line into
Code:
<texture background="true">$INFO[Player.FolderPath]logo.png</texture>
Maybe someone knows how to alter the line to use the custom set directory? I suppose it's a Linux only bug?
Okay, I am a noob and therefore very confused! What exactly do I have to do to make it work? I tried adding folders with artwork and nothing works! Anyway could you please explain this to me like I am a baby? I will be very grateful!

Hi, could you please explain to me how to get clearart and cdart to work in Aeon MQ3! I am very new to XBMC and have no clue! Thanks!
same problem to me.. any one can help..?
Warning this may not be the correct wayor the easiest way but this is the way I did it.
The first thing I did was organise my Music Folder. Originally I had every as
d:\Music\Album
I could not get it to work with the way, I originally had my folder setup
So I changed it to
d:\Music\Artist Name\ Album
To use Rhianna as an example
d:\Music\Rhianna\Good Girl Gone Bad
Once I had rearranged my Music folder, I installed the addon's including CDArt Manager for Aeon MQ3

With these installed, you should have the following in your program addon's
I have used the following settings for CdArt Manager
In addition to running the rest of the addon's, I then went into CdArt Manager
For each topic - CDARTS, COVER ARTS etc, I selected automatic download and let CdArt Manager do its thing. Once every option had been used I was left with the following for Rhianna
Once installed, you can also run CdArt Manager this way
Not to hijack this thread but I've always been confused about music organization.
Here is what I have. Each album has it's own folder...
/Music/A Perfect Circle- aMotion/songs.mp3
/Music/A Perfect Circle- Thirteenth Step/songs.mp3
Then I have random singles like this...
Music/random song.mp3
I've got everything tagged properly, but I wonder if it would be better if I had each artist having a folder with album folders inside.
/Music/A Perfect Circle/aMotion/songs.mp3
/Music/A Perfect Circle/Thirteenth Step/songs.mp3
And then put random singles in their own folders by artist
/Music/random artist/random album/random song.mp3
falling inside the above artist folders when appropriate.
Would this work or be better?
