I've got a few questions about the Now Playing screen..
When I play for example "The Rolling Stones - Paint It Black" (album unknown fyi)
I get a list with "other songs with tag: classic rock"

1. Where does it get this tag? It isn't labelled like that, none of my songs are but in the list I see 2 HipHop songs..

2. I get a picture of the rolling stones, I know it downloaded that , but what's the source & why doesn't it show this picture with another song of them?
In other words.. how are the images allocated to the songs?

3. Is mediaportal using ID3v1 tags?

1. It checks the song with last.fm, probably a lot of other people tagged the song as "classic rock".

3. I think it uses ID3v1 only if it can't find ID3v2 tags. I'm not 100% sure about this so I hope someone else can confirm it.

1. You can switch this off in configuration.exe if you don´t have use for it (like me)

2. a. Could be that you have a songs which are tagged "Rolling Stones" and some "The Rolling Stones" otherwise it shows the picture with all songs from the same group. Stored in ../thumbs/artist
