Album artwork not syncing on iPhone iOS 5.1 update

Has anyone else had a problem with album artwork not showing up in the Music App since the recent iOS 5.1 update? i've tried restoring my iphone, changing the resolution of the artwork to 600x600, deleting all the music off and resyncing, and many other troubleshoots to NO avail. please advise if you have had a similar problem RECENTLY?

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1

I Know this is late in the day but I had a problem of not being able to add art work to my albums...the reason was the files were too big....I wanted to use my own photos but they are about 5mb each so I used Photoshop to get them down to 330kb and I now have no problem putting any art work with any album....hope this helps some one....

DON'T DO THIS! Yes the cover art is back but this tip deleted half of my music library. Albums contain only half of the songs that are supposed to be there. Of the more than 12.000 songs I had less than 6.000 remain. Deleted from my computer, that is. Don't understand how this could have happened, didn't believe it at first, but it's true I'm afraid. Horror. I hope TimeMachine will solve this. But again: DON'T DO THIS!

Edit: the music was still there, most of the playlists were corrupted. I was able to get most of it back by replacing the iTunes Library.itl by an older version (via TimeMachine). Lost some playlistst, but I can live with that. Problem now is that iTunes makes one, two or sometimes even three copies of every playlist, with only half of the songs. An old bug, I've had it before. Will have to delete them one by one and have to hope they won't return (which that did when I first had this). Again: DON'T DO THIS.
