Enhancement Request: Local Import for music fanart with confirmation on non 
exact matches.

I'd like to see the ability for a local import. I imagine it would work as 
follows

User selects a directory that contains the fanart.
The plugin scrapes that directory using the same logic it uses to scrape 
htbackdrops
It matches up the filename with any music artist in music database.
If it finds a match it copies the file from the users fanart directory into 
the plugins fanart directory and then adds the file to the database.

This would be useful in the event the database becomes corrupt, the user 
can backup the existing \skinfanart\music directory and then repoint the 
plugin to this backedup folder. The other advantage is that if you 
reinstall mediaportal you can backup your music fanart. The other advantage 
is there are several large .zip files floating around that contain heaps of 
artist images, so the user could quickly import that. The advantage of an 
import over a raw copy is that i imagine it gets integrated into the 
database, and also if there are any spelling problems they can be 
confirmed/denied with a dialog box.

Another option could be confirmation if not exact match. If filename is 
only close match then show thumbnail and ask do you want to use this for 
artist XXXXX?
