I currently have over 3500 CD images in my library that are named as CDArt.png. In v18, I see that I can get KODI to get images, but the WIKI says they should be named DISCART.png. Is this correct, am I going to have to rename all the images?

In Kodi 18 you can have any kind of art type you want, and can whitelist them for auto-assigning during scanning. BUT. You have to depend on the skin you use to figure out how to display the art type. It's more-or-less agreed that "discart" means a round image representing a cd/dvd/bd. It isn't that hard for a skin to look for either discart or cdart as art types, but it isn't guaranteed the skinner has done this. I've used the bulk rename utility for a long time, and the UI isn't the best but it gets the job done.

In case you're using Linux the following command creates a copy of all existing cdart.png-files, which are found in the given directory and its subdirectories and the copy will be renamed to discart.png (the original file will not be deleted):
find /path/to/search -type f -name 'cdart.png' -exec bash -c 'cp "$0" "${0/cdart/discart}"' {} \;

Some linux distro's also come with ThunarBulkRename built in
then you can simply search for all cdart.png in your file browser, select them all, right click and select rename and rename them all to discart.png
