there is one, htbackdrops.com
that's where the xbmc scrapers get their fanart images from.
you can always send a PM to nuzecast (xbmc forum member and owner of htbackdrops.com) if he's willing to host the cdart images.

Has anyone got this working with Various artist albums or with albums with Two CDs I seem to be able to get it working with artist and name IE
All About Eve-Scarlet and Other Stories
but not with anything with two cds or varios artists IE
/Top Gear/sub zero driving anthems/CD1/ with image as Top Gear-sub zero driving anthems cd1.png ...
Does this read the Folder names or the MP3s ID Tags ?

This only read the artist/band name and the album name from the tag, if albums with 2 cd's or more have the same album name and doesnt have anything to identify which one is like ex. album name disc 1 in the album name tag it would use the same cdArt.

wow, great ! I hope you have a lot of storage because in terms of music libraries tend to be huge compare to TV Shows for example.
the perfect thing would be if XBMC could have a way to read the cdArt form a tag like album art tag, back cover art and cdArt I know you can add this tag to the album as media art the same for back cover art, inlay art, ect.. but I dont know if XBMC could read the tag. I have been reading the ID3 tag info and couldn't find anything about this other tags it only supply info for the album art thats it !

A suggestion :
in musicvisualisation.xml
within your control <description>artist slideshow</description>, add
<include>Animation_BackgroundFade</include>
it creates a nice fade effects between artists fanarts !
so the control is :
Code:
<!--artist slideshow if fanart exist in define folder-->
<control type="multiimage">
<description>artist slideshow</description>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>-</posy>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<imagepath>backdrops/artist_fanart/$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist]</imagepath>
<timeperimage>4000</timeperimage>
<fadetime>2000</fadetime>
<pauseatend>4000</pauseatend>
<randomize>true</randomize>
<loop>yes</loop>
<aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
<include>Animation_BackgroundFade</include>
<visible>!Visualisation.Enabled + Player.HasAudio</visible>
</control>
<!-- end artist slideshow -->- reaven - 2009-07-20
Quote:within your control <description>artist slideshow</description>, addnice one, my own xml dont have slideshow anymore I'm pulling the fanart from the remote music folder so I cant use <multiimage control> so I'm only able to use one single image.
<include>Animation_BackgroundFade</include>
it creates a nice fade effects between artists fanarts !
I will be posting the xml soon for anyone that doesnt want to create a new folder for each artist that want support for. for the others that have the music folder locally just replace "path" in the
Code:
<imagepath> path </imagepath>- Imaginos - 2009-07-20
I like the idea of having a folder by artist
it takes some time to fill, but the result is terrible
