Default Thumbnails, album & video cover art

Did you know that:

1. you can create thumbnails for your files?
Its very easy. If your file is called
my song.mp3
then create a file my song.tbn. This file is just a normal .jpg
file, but with the extension .tbn
This works for both movies as for music songs

2. You can create thumbnails for your folders?
If you got a folder like c:\media\movies\a beautifull mind
then put a file called folder.jpg in it
so you will have c:\media\movies\a beautifull mind\folder.jpg
the folder.jpg will be shown for the folder icon from now on!

3. You can retrieve music album art & info?
In My Music, First scan your music collection by hitting the
scan button in my music
Next, select a song and hit F3. This will query www.allmusic.com
for the album info & thumbnail

4. You can retrieve video cover art & info?
In My Movies, select a movie file and hit F3.
This will query www.imdb.com for the
movie info & thumbnail. You can also do this with folders btw
