please understand my advice is what i consider to be "best practices"
but others may disagree.  however if you follow it it will work good for
just about every app, including SBS.

in any case, yes, i would have my folders as:

root\music\Daft Punk\Homework\
root\music\Daft Punk\Live\
root\music\Daft Punk\Discovery\

and if i had random DP songs, then you could create

root\music\Daft Punk\random\

obviously put the right files (songs) in the right folders, and put
Folder.jpg in each folder.  also put a copy of each Folder.jpg in there
in case anything happens to the original.

SBS used to have a place where you could specify the artwork filename
SBS should use.  it might still have that, its been a long time since i
looked.  its in the settings somewhere, and should be set if there.

while this may be a lot of work, in the long run it'll be worth it for
you.

u can keep other art in the folder, no problem.  you just want to
specify to SBS the right filename to use for display, (its a global
setting).
