Agreed, probably go back to the stock skin and try and change the backgrounds.
Unlike videos, for music, it doesn't actually matter - XBMC purely uses the tags in the files.
That said - I like to organise my music like I organise my TV shows, with music taking the following format:
Artist\Album\Artist - Album - Track# - Track Title.ext

Upgraded my chassis to this....

But just noticed this beauty

I guess I have the advantage of modding mine to accommodate for more storage

How to I enable this?
It's within the customize main menu options for movies, music, TV. You need to install artwork organizer. You can also have weather backgrounds based on current conditions.

There will always be those that like to live in the dark ages...... Talking of which.... do you still use coal for your fire ?
Have a nice evening Sir
I have a NUC under my TV in the living room. I've got some old PC innards that I've stuck into a server case which is fitted into a cabinet to perform NAS duties - running Win7.
The NUC is running Win7 - if I install XBMC onto the NUC will I be able to access the files from the NAS and how do I get XBMC on the NUC to show movie covers for those movies stored on the NAS.
Also, my TV has Plex as an app - is that similar to XMBC?

Anyone got any links of a product that would be able to stream hd/blueray content from xvmc? (smaller the better)
Plex was originally a fork of xbmc. They do not look that similar though. Plex is lighter and has a server client model. XBMC is heavy, better looking and is a single application.
I run 2 NUCs both with XBMC and a server. All on ubuntu, but no reason not to use windows other than cost for no gain. If you only want XBMC on the NUC then checkout openelec.

I have decided to take the plunge and build a HTPC with XBMC. I recently had a Raspberry PI with RaspBMC installed but I wanted more power and features.
Now I am a bit of a noob when it comes to XBMC. Am I right to think that I should just download the official XBMC release and away I go? Or should I be looking at pre builds etc? Also getting it to boot straight in to XBMC, is the process relatively simple?
