Music in Emby - Metadata?

I'd like to give Emby a try as a browser for all my music.  I currently use WMC and it's "OK".  I was wondering what all is involved with getting it setup.  Is it as simple as pointing a Folder to the server and configuring it as a MUSIC path?  Where does it store things like Metadata (cover art) and does/will it have things like Artist info/photos?  If so, where does it save this information to?  I currently have all music stored in a path like "\\music\artist - album\track# - title.mp3" will that work?

I posted this a couple weeks ago, but I think it got lost.  Can anybody help answer my question?

Cool thanks Luke!  I wasn't sure if I needed to go back through and retag all my music or not.  How does it store things like cover art and genres, etc?  I currently have everything embeded in the ID3 tags (coverart too).  Will Emby extract and use that, or will it attempt to fetch and store it's own versions?  Will there be a hidden /metadata folder for each album I have like for my videos?
