[QUOTE="mpsam, post: 836382, member: 95735"] Hi and Welcome. I have not used the programs that you speak of but I am sure MediaPortal can give a similar, if not superior experience. For the music, the internal music section will read the tags into its database and download album covers. You should install Fanart Handler and Lastest Media Handler to enhance the experience. In terms of movies, the video section can handle it. There are dedicated plugins that improves the experience. Moving Pictures is the simpliest and it handles every thing about movies fanart, covers scraping etc. My Films also manages your movie collection but it is geared towards person who catlogs their collection with software such as Ant, MyMovies and others. In terms of codecs, there is SAF 6.xx which is based on LAV filters which works well. If you are using Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate however, some people recommend just the LAV Filters along with the Microsoft codecs. That is how I do it and it works well. Less to fiddle with.
