I have a music folder and then each album is in its own folder, previously i used Media Monkey for ripping and scraping but now i just use mediaplayer on my pc or the built in scraper in xbmc.

TheAudioDB is the only one supported in XBMC4Xbox 3.5 and forward - the other ones were broken and were removed.

Scraper fixes and clean-ups

We had a lot of broken and unmaintained scrapers with the previously version of XBMC4Xbox. With the 3.5 release only a few are included, but they are all maintained and working. We have scrapers for themoviedb.org, thetvdb.com as well as theaudiodb.com for music. Please do support and contribute to these open database projects, as the content and results are only as good as the information people have contributed.

Perhaps because no one is experiencing the same issue or they don't know... Than being said, the scraper is already set by default; works find for me after I updated the library from the context menu... but sure, I'll attempt to, guide you...

go to music settings-> library; enable Download additional information during update
ensure default service for music information is set to theaudiodb.com, which it is by default
exit settings
go to music files
add the source for your music and save
highlight the source you have added and bring up the context menu (hit TITLE on the DVD Controller or The White Button on the controller)
select Scan item to library and wait until it's done
go to music library, bring up the context menu and select Update library
if you don't get scrapped info; go to music library, highlight first album, bring up context menu, and select Query info for all albums
a settings dialog may pop up; ensure theaudiodb.com is set and save
then go to artist, bring up the context menu and select Query info for all artists; you may, once again, get the settings, do the same as above

NOTE: you may not get everything scrapped; that's because either: a) the info is not in the scrapped database, or b) the info does not match what's in the scrapper's database

Although the following screenshots is not the default skin, you get the picture:

Try it and let us know...
