Perhaps it's just me that has misunderstood something, but I am unable to get fanart for my music working. I have sorted the music according to recommandations: Music/Artist/Album/Song, cleared the library, re-scanned the music back.

When I try "Get Album information", the Get Fanart button is disabled.
I checked the log and it says:

Isn't the fanart supposed to come from the scraper, i.e. htbackdrops.com?

It seems I have worked it out. I created a fanart.jpg in the Music/3 Doors Down/ folder, and after I did that, it seems fanart got enabled on all artists. That, or it's because I searched for Artist Info, and not Album Info.
I have to test it out on my HTPC when I get home, and see if I can replicate the success there. If I can, I'll write a short summary of what I did, in case someone else out there is as stupid as me. I really tried for a long time to get this working. Almost gave up actually.
