Album art is mixed up and on wrong files. Video screenshots as album art.

Hi, i recently noticed as i'm listening to music that some songs are displaying the album art of other songs instead of their own. Sometimes, i'll be listening to a song and instead of the album art that is supposed to be showing on the screen i get a screenshot from one of my videos as the album art instead. Since i have a lot of songs i would rather not go through all and check and fix it.

Is there a quick fix or atleast a way to prevent this from happening again?
Did i do something to causes this?

3. Itunes -> Ipod -> Restore firmware

Yeah, but if i do the restore backup thing then

A. Don't my ipod game data, settings, and screen organization get reset?
B. It's switched in iTunes so it wouldn't make a difference reseting the iPod.

Don't get me wrong, i'm thankful for the suggestion but i just don't want to restore my ipod because i'm afraid of losing my settings and data, also since this is a problem that is in my library (and i assume originated from here)i don't think it will work.
