All id3v2 tags need to be correct for them to scrape correctly.
XBMC will not modify your mp3 files so it won't embed the art in them. You need to do that yourself

Thanks for your quick response!
Main goal is gathering Album art for my MP3s for all my devices, including but not limited to XBMC
Which I assume would be ideal for everyone?!?
The id3v2 tags are 100% correct for Artist & Title. I can delete the data for album (only if needed).
1 will it scrape the data correctly with incorrect/no album name?
2 After I scrape, is their an easy way to sync scrapped data to id3 tag?
Thanks again!
Nathan

Since wanilton post was not answered I'll add some more
I don't know if the problem is in the scraper or in internal Xbmc yet but in recent Gotham there's a problem with scraping album genres.
My collection is perfect tagged, during one of the recent build the strArtists was dropped (I think for musicBrainz) and Xbmc asked for a rescan for Art
(Maybe change this message box since this is needed for way more than just art).
When I accept the rescan Xbmc drop all my albums genre in strGenres and put the artists in it.
I join a screenshot of the database during the process.
You can see the dropped artists with correct genre, then during the rescan the artist field is populated and the genre is replaced with the artist.

Yeah that's what I can't understand. I'll do a bit more investigation when I get home.
