Also, if I scrap all my music with MusicBrianz Picard. Then Run all the Music files through MediaElch (to grab all the Fanart, Album Art, Artist.nfo, Banners, etc), is there a point to still using cdART Manager? Does cdART Manager do something that MediaElch misses?
Not familiar with MediaElch, does it download CD artwork (cdart.png) files? If not then there's one thing that cdART Manager does that you'll want to retain it for. cdART Manager has been around for quite a long time, so a lot of skins are already set up to make use of it if it's installed. To take advantage of that integration with another program / utility, said program has to create filenames / paths with exactly the same structure as cdART Manager would do, otherwise your going to need to rename a lot of files or manually point your selected skin to resources you have downloaded.
Most of the 3rd party media managers I've seen/used tend to bias Movies and TV. Music is a bit of a poor relation in comparison. I guess this is 'most' people's main area of focus for their media center.
