The Wiki says :

Music FanArt is available in the music library. Fanart is retrieved from user submitted fanart at sites such as htbackdrops.com.

You can also have your own custom FanArt background via fanart.jpg in the artist folder.

I like complete control over what XBMC displays so i want to have all music fanart be hand picked by me and store locally so no downloading is needed.

Where exactly do i drop my custom fanart? Don't tell me i have to reorganize my 3227 folders under O:\MP3...

"You can also have your own custom FanArt background via fanart.jpg in the artist folder."

you already answered it.

2 options:

1. reorganize the dirs so i.e. you have
adam sandler
| ------------ album 1
| ------------ album 2
| ------------ album 3
\_ fanart.jpg

or

2. put the appropriate fanart.jpg in every folder

Adam Sandler - Stan and Judy's Kid (1999)
\_ fanart.jpg

Adam Sandler - They're All Gonna Laugh at You! (1993)
\_ fanart.jpg

Adam Sandler - What The Hell Happened To Me! (1996)
\_ fanart.jpg


also notice that fanart will only show up when browsing by artists yet.
