	~~Music is the component of XBMC that tames your hunger for great music. Some of the key features of Music are:~~

	~~== Album Art & Thumbnails ==~~
	~~:''See main article'': [[Thumbnails]]~~
	{\|
	~~\| valign="top" \|~~
	~~There are a number of ways to get thumbnails to display in Music.<br />~~
	Album art can by obtained via [http://www.allmusic.com Allmusic.com] and described in the [[My Music Navigation and Control#The Context Menu\|The Context Menu]] section. Music tags can also contain art for that specific song, as can be seen in [[Preparing your Music]].<br />
	If you want a custom thumb, you can add a .tbn file to your music directory. The .tbn file can be either a .JPG or a .PNG file (with transparancy) that you simply rename the extension from .jpg/.png to .tbn.<br />
	~~The size of the picture can be anything from 64x64 to 256x256 in pixel-size (you may want to use a larger pixel-size if you use XBMC in 720p/1080i HDTV resolution to get a sharper image).<br />~~

	~~'''Examples:'''<br />~~
	~~In this example audiofilename.mp3 will use audiofilename.tbn as thumbnail:~~
	~~Music\path\'''audiofilename.mp3'''~~
	~~Music\path\'''audiofilename.tbn'''~~
	\|
	~~[[File:mymusic.jpg\|right\|360px]]~~
	\|}

	~~The same goes for playlists, [[Cue sheets]], SHOUTcast, and [[HOW-TO: Play Internet Streams\|internet-stream files]], eg:~~
	~~Music\path\'''audioplaylistname.m3u'''~~
	~~Music\path\'''audioplaylistname.tbn'''~~
	~~Music\path\'''cuelistname.cue'''~~
	~~Music\path\'''cuelistname.tbn'''~~
	~~Music\path\'''shoutcastlinkname.pls'''~~
	~~Music\path\'''shoutcastlinkname.tbn'''~~
	~~Music\path\'''audiostreamname.strm'''~~
	~~Music\path\'''audiostreamname.tbn'''~~

	If you store each of your music-albums or artists in a separate subfolder to keep things organized, you can also make the folder have a custom thumbnail image. To do this you need to rename your .jpg thumbnail as folder.jpg and place it in the folder (the size of the picture can be anything from 64x64 to 256x256 in pixel size).<br />

	~~'''Example:'''<br />~~
	~~Music\path\album\'''folder.jpg'''~~

	~~Now your album/artist folder will have a lovely custom thumbnail-image.~~

	~~You can via [[advancedsettings.xml]] change the default filename of the image that XBMC uses for music folders. See the [[advancedsettings.xml~~#~~<musicthumbs>\|<musicthumbs>]] tag. for more information.~~

	~~== Sources for Music ==~~
	~~:''See main article'': [[Media Sources]]~~
	~~XBMC gives you the ability to listen to music from a variety of sources, click here for more information and examples of [[Types of Media Sources\|Types of Media Sources (link)]].<br />~~
	~~Some examples of sources that allow you to easily access all your digital music collection:~~
	* '''On your computer or a [[NAS (Network Attached Storage)]] device/system, which supports [[SMB]] file sharing'''
	* '''Stored directly on the hard drive'''
	* '''On CDs/DVDs'''
	* '''Streamed from the Internet'''

	~~=== Files View ===~~
	Files View is the most basic way of browing your music. In Files View, you browse through your sources folder by folder, in the exact same way they are stored. What you see in Files View is the same as you would see if you were to browse the folders on your computer.

	~~=== Library Mode ===~~
	~~:''See main article'': [[Music Library]]~~
	~~The Library Mode is much more advanced and has many more features than the Files View. It has features like song, album and artist info to name a few.~~
	In order to utilize Library Mode, you first need to scan your music into the Music Library using [[Music Navigation and Control#The Context Menu\|The Context Menu]]. Be patient, as this can take quite a while if you have a large music collection.
