Are you still having issues with your Zune Media Collection? In the Zune.net Forums, user streetchariot has compiled one heck of a list of info to help you out. ( View the Thread ) Below are a couple of the common issues related to Album Art.
If your albums are not right on your Zune:
1. Connect your Zune to your PC.
2. Goto the Device Tab in the zune software, and remove any albums that are not right.
3. Go back to the Collection Tab and browse to the albums you just removed.
4. Right click them and choose "Sync with <<Device Name>>"
5. Those albums will re-sync to the Zune.
* If this does not work, or every album is not right, you can re-sync your entire collection by wiping the Zune clean.
If some of your albums (on PC) still do not look right after the fix:
1. You can use a MP3/WMA tag editor to fix the albums in question.
OR
1. You can use the Zune software to fix them.
2. Soft the column that all of the data is correct on, (ie: if Artist is OK, but Album is bad, sort by Artist).
3. Right click on the part that is wrong on the song, and goto Edit.
4. You can now edit the name.

I don”t think I’d ever trust this software enough to Re-enable the “Update Album Information” option. (I have too much bad experience with Windows Media Player.)
I’ll probably make my own ZuneAlbumArt.jpg file and have the Zune database recompile.
Wait. Does this problem happen to EVERYONE? I really hope that this doesn’t happen to me cause I have a real problem about my album art. I am the guy that need to see the album art and if it doesn’t wanna work I will be angry.

thanks posting this list. It makes it real easy to find the info. IM still having some trouble so I might have to look this list over.
After looking this list over I don’t really see a solution to my problem. I having a problem with some artist showing up under the wrong albums. I tried some of these fixes earlier and they didn’t help.
My metatag data is actually fine its just displaying some of the artists are listed incorrectly. Im thinking my problem might actually require an update or fix from Microsoft.
Well I guess the software has some problems in it. Give it some time and I am sure that micro soft will take care of this. If they don’t they might just have lost a lot of people and that would set them back some. Just for a little problem that they should be able to fix in no time.

thanks i was havinga little trouble with the whole album art but it was no biggy. Hopefully this will help me out
Yeah, I read it on amazon that people were having trouble with cover art, and it wasn’t kicking in. Same as Zune1. Thanks for the post.
I have yet to see any problem with it but Im glad to see that there is a solution for the people that are having problems
