K, I'll start at the beginning. I've got a lot of albums. Want to have XBMP 2.4 by Complex to display CD cover art on: 1. The folder when browsing HDD music folders, 2. When music is playing instead of the headphones in the lower left hand corner.

K, what I did was to get the CD cover art and then I tried two things. 1. I tried making a 64x64 .jpeg and renaming it to the folder name and placing it inside the folder, did not show. 2. I tried placing the original .jpeg's into the 'My Pictures' folder and hitting 'generate preview' which is supposed to make a thumb. Made an image appear for the file in 'My Pictures', however did not make a .tbn file and when the .jpeg file was transferred to appropriate folder and renamed to appropriate 'myfoldername.tbn' did not show as needed.

K, I tried doing a search for this, no help. Read the manual, no help. I think I'm doing this right. Show me what a dumbass I'm being. Thanks!

You were so close here. What you can do is Make 64x64 .jpeg renaming to the file folder name but with a .tbn extension. Place it in a directory with the directory you named it after, not in the directory it is named after.
EX:
Directory path:
f:\mymusic\aerosmith\just push play
thumb path:
f:\mymusic\aerosmith\just push play.tbn

IS this the same process for movie covers too?
I've not tried yet as I am not near my xbox, just wondering.
