Delete the cdart.db file in the addon_data folder for cdART manager, or do a "refresh database" from the "Modify Database" menu (which essentially wipes the db). Once it's done creating the Db, then do a subsequent "Update Database" pass as it seems no (or very few) artists get recognized with a fresh db, after the first pass. I'd turn off all the MBID checking features for the first scan / refresh via the "settings" menu, then turn them on again for the second pass / update as those features being on greatly extends the time it takes to do a scan (which it will do for each refresh / scan / update).
Hope that makes sense.

Stef.an, your new version is working like a charm on 14.1 as well as 14.2 (just updated).
Thank you so much.

Hi all. Thanks for the awesome addon.
I need some direction. First time user of the script. If I understand correctly if I put a directory in the "Path to Music Folder" settings, all the logo, fanart, extra fanart etc goes there but NOT the discart, album cover etc.
Is there a way to dump them all the directory specified in the "Path to Music Folder"? If not, why?
Thanks

Because when Kodi scrapes your music collection, that's where it expects to see your folder.jpg's and cdart.png's. It won't assign that artwork if it's placed anywhere else. Other types of artwork aren't handled by Kodi directly, but by skins/plugins you have installed.
