Using Music
You will find the interface of Music as easy to operate as the rest of XBMC.
Album Art & Thumbnails
- See main article: Thumbnails
There are a number of ways to get thumbnails to display in Music. Examples: Music\path\audiofilename.mp3 Music\path\audiofilename.tbn |
The same goes for playlists, Cue sheets, SHOUTcast, and 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).
Example:
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 <musicthumbs> tag. for more information.
