Well, the script finally executed and now I have CD art and FanArt it worked a charm EXCEPT:
1. I have Singles in their own directory and the CDArt isn't finding them
2. Since I first loaded the CDArt script, The music menu has had no artwork and is a black screen.
Any thoughts?
Thanks so much for your assistance! It even impressed the missus to see the Hinder Extreme Behavior CD (With the lips) spinning... Very cool!!!

Well, I deleted the .db file 2 times and changed the directory for cdart... and now it's works ...
The issue about the spanish language remain, I hope that you'll fix soon.

OK I manually for one artist created a sub folder called Extrafanart I then added two fanart images called fanart1.jpg and fanart2.jpg then in the Aeon MQ4 Art menu I enabled Extrafanart and specified the path to my main root music directory. Now when I play an album by this artist I can see the two fanart images rotating so it works!
However what I can't seem to figure out is how to get CDArt Manager to create these Extrafanart sub-folders for me?
Many thanks.
EDIT:
OK I think I see what is going on now, I was using Artist Fanarts -> Select Artist -> Album Artists and just choosing one artist to test with. This doesnt seem to create the extrafanart sub-folder.
However if I use Automatic Download -> Album Artists then it does create the extrafanart sub-folders and in each extrafanart folder it creates fanart files which are named liked this:
Artistname-4e54cbbe31806.jpg
Artistname-4e54cbc6a2647.jpg

I have a slight problem with some artists folder names.
In CDArt Manager the Artist ACDC is shown as AC/DC. It creates a folder called AC and then a sub-folder under that called DC and ignores my existing folder called ACDC. Obviously I cannot create a folder called AC/DC to match the name of the artist in CDArt Manager.
REM is another problem artist. In CDArt Manager they are shown as R.E.M.
After running a scan with CDArt Manager I always seem to end up with two folders for this artist.
R.E.M. and R.E.M
I have just deleted the R.E.M one in the hope that it will not return.
Thanks
EDIT: Later I could not access the R.E.M. folder, a message in Windows Explorer said it did not exist or something, I could still see the folder however. I could not delete it, I had to move it in to a new folder in order to then delete it. I then tried creating my own new folder called R.E.M. however Windows server just renames it all the time to R.E.M - no dot after the M
However when CDArt Manager scans it will create another R.E.M. folder and then I end up with two folders etc.
EDIT2: Changing the tags in the MP3 files from R.E.M. to just be R.E.M resolved the issues with that artist.

Here is another one Spandau Ballet, however CDArt Manager creates a folder called Spandau Ballett which is spelt wrong. So I end up with two folders etc.
Checking the album in Mp3TAG it seems under the Album Artist tag, is where it is spelt incorrectly. So presumably this is where CDArt Manager picked it up from. I have corrected the spelling.
Had a similar issue with A-ha. In CDArt Manager I had two listings for the same artist, one spelt A-ha and the other A-Ha. I also corrected this on all their albums in MP3Tag and made sure all tags were set to be A-ha.
