Was there issues with the bottom left panel... i tried that when i first got my ipod and it never worked.... but with using the wau i described above it seems to work every time

The bottom left panel has nothing to do with the iPod.
At the top of the box, click the arrow and make sure it shows Selected, not Now playing.

I can't get it seem to work either. It looks as if everything should be fine: all the songs on my iPod contain an illustration and the selection box for 'Show album art on this Ipod' in the options menu of iTunes is marked.

Does it really matter if it says 'Selected' instead of 'Now playing'?

I've found the solution myself already.

It seems that the illustrations have to attached to the songs in the iTunes library, not to the songs in the iPod.

Have you tried this, though?:

Plug your iPod in.
Un-check, then re-check the "chow album artwork on iPod" several times. Eject the iPod, reset it (hold MENU and SELECT for 7 seconds). See if you album artwork is displayed now after doing this.

I hope this helps,

In your music folders you should only have these files.
1. your mp3/music files
2. an image of your ablum cover names "folder.jpg"

NO other files should be in their. no .thumbs, no copies of folder.jpg. Keep it simple and only the music files and the image file called folder.jpg.

The image named folder.jpg should be called that for each album cover in each folder.

ALL THIS IS INT HE MUSIC FOLDERS ITSELF NOT THE ITUNES

This works 100% everytime for me and works for media center and Ipod

The album artwork is part of the ID3 tags. You do not need a copy of it in the music folder.

As stated, you have to add the artwork to the songs in iTunes, then check, "Show album art on this iPod" in the prefs.
It will not work if you add the artwork only to the songs on the iPod.

Also try this program as it will embed the pictures and names for you. again worked for me everytime.
the program is called "tag & rename". Do a yahoo search and it will pop up right away
