There are 3 possible ways in getting the album art for your music album.

1. Album art may be obtained from the online Music CD database that Windows Media Player uses.
   Note: Not all music albums have album art available in the online CD database.
2. From the online music store where you purchased your songs or albums, the album art may be downloaded along with your purchase.
3. You may also create your own album art by transferring your favorite jpg photo into the selected album folder and rename it to Album Art.jpg.

To download album art from the online database and transfer to the player.

1. Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
2. Launch Windows Media Player.
3. Go to Tools> Options> Player.
4. Make sure the "Enable picture support for devices" check box is selected.
5. Click the Apply, then the OK buttons.
6. Select the "RIP" tab on the task menu bar.
7. Insert your music CD into the CD drive of your computer. The Windows Media Player will take a few seconds to show the content of the CD on the display.
8. Click "Find Album Info". The Player accesses the database hosted by WindowsMedia.com and displays information about the album in the Album Information pane. The album art will be shown if available.(Note: For some music CD, album art may not be found in any of the online database.)
9. Click Finish to update all the information about your album and show it in the Rip pane.
10. Connect your Device to the computer.
11. Select the tracks that you would like to rip by clicking in the check b ox next to the track.
12. Click the Rip music button to start ripping the music CD.
13. Once the tracks are finished being ripped to the library, go to the Media library and select the songs that you have just ripped.
14. Add them to the sync list and transfer them into your Device. The album art will be transferred along with those selected songs.
15. Disconnect the Device from your computer.
16. Make sure that the option in your Device has been selected to display the album art on the device, at Settings-> Album art.

To create your own album art and transfer it to the Device

1. In Windows Media Player , right click on the song you want to update the album art of.
2. Select "Advanced Tag Editor" option.
3. In the screen that pops up , select the "Pictures" tab.
4. Use the drop down list to make sure that the type of picture you add is the Cover (front).
5. Click on "Add" to associate a picture as the Album art for the song and all the songs in that album.
6. Add this (and other songs from the same album) to the sync list and transfer them into your Device. The album art will be transferred along with those selected songs.
7. Disconnect the Device from your computer.
8. Make sure that the option in your Device has been selected to display the album art on the device, at Settings-> Album art.

Hope this information helps. If it does, please do not forget to give me a rating and a comment.

I have the exact same problem with a 16GB (NWZ-S545) and using Windows Media Player 11. I've tried deleting the songs off the player, manually adding album art for the songs and putting them back on but it still will not display album art for certain albums. There is a folder on the walkman (My Computer\WALKMAN\Storage Media\Albums) that contains all of the album covers even some of the ones that do not display. I'm thinking that something goes wrong when you first transfer the music and then it never can be corrected. Possibly formatting the player and adding everything back in will fix the problem but that is something I want to avoid if at all possible. Let me know if you figure anything out. Thanks.

To do this you're going to have to re-copy all of the music you want album art for to your G1! Sorry! But here goes...
Firstly, the reason the album art isn't there is because it wasn't bought online, therefore the album art may not be encoded onto the songs. However it's not that hard to encode art yourself on Windows Media Player.
You have to look for the album art online, and save it on your computer. Then, find the songs you want on Windows Media Player (if they are from the same album then ctrl+click them all) then right click. On the right-click menu there should be an option called Advanced Tag Editor. Click that, then the Pictures Tab, and click Add. Then find your album art and select Cover (Front) from the Picture Type drop down menu. Hopefully that will encode your songs with the album art, then you can sync them with WMP or copy and paste them as normal.

Go to the sytem Settings menu and go to this option:
Display Art in Lists
Enabling this feature displays a small image of the song album cover, audiobook
cover, and photos when scrolling through list of these items.
1. Scroll down to Display Art in Lists and select it.
2. Use thumbwheel to switch between On (enable) and Off (disable).

If changing this option to enable fials to resolve the issue, the solution is a bit painful: You will have to manually add the artwork to each single song within an album in Windows Media Player 11, delete the song that is missing the artwork off your sansa, and re-add the songs again after you are done manually ediitng the artwork.

Manually add album art (WMP 11)
1. Run WMP.
2. Click Library on the top bar.
3. Select and right-click the file(s) you wish to update and select Advanced Tag Editor.
4. Click the Picture tab, then click Add.
5. Navigate to the image you wish to use for album art then click Open.
6. Click Apply then OK.

U MUST HAVE THE ART WORK ON WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER AND U MUST USE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER FOR TRANSFER IF THAT DOESNT WORK THEN UR FONE IS SCREWED

I not entirely 100% sure, but the album art is only supported with WMA, as the album art image is embedded inside of the wma files themselves and not stored separately on the mp3 player.

u can use the other mode to put the album art on it too....
just drag and drop the album art using wmp 11...
if that doesn't work the slow way is to use iriver plus 3 and add it manually.
i suggest organising your files by placing albums into individual folders with their album art...
u can also use other programs like itunes or winamp to add album art...

A few possibilities. Go to http://193.95.171.83/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=224,E=0000000000373151655,K=1742,Sxi=15,Case=obj(8179),Kb=ww_english_add,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com/

Creative ZEN players do not currently support album art from Rhapsody version 4.0.
Album art is either embedded in a track, or exists as a thumbnail image in a separate file, allowing one album art file to be associated with an album. Currently, Rhapsody only supports album art embedded in the track. Future versions of Rhapsody are expected to support thumbnail versions.
Creative Media Explorer or Windows Media Player 10 or 11 can be used to transfer music purchased from Rhapsody to a player with album art included.

Album Art is supported by Creative ZEN, Creative ZEN V Plus, ZEN V, Vision:M and ZEN Vision players.
The ZEN Vision (PF1150) requires a firmware update for Album Art. You can download the updated firmware:

• ZENVision_PCFW_L16_1_42_01.exe (The Americas and Asia only)
• ZENVision_PCFW_L16_1_42_01e.exe (Europe only).

If you experience any difficulty transferring Album Art with Windows Media Player 10 or 11, to ZEN Vision:M, delete WMPInfo.xml (see below), and then transfer the tracks again.

Inside Windows Media Player, you have to move the mouse over the Rip tab, click the black arrow that appears, go into Rip Options, Format, and change format to Mp3. Now you can go to Rip tab and rip a CD into Mp3 format - then you will be able to transfer it to your iRiver using the Sync tab.
Good luck!
