I have a ton of mp3 and all them have album art and play fine in SP2. However when i play then tru the microsoft default media player some of the cover art doesnt show. All my cover art is less than 100kb, what the hell is the trick to have your cover art show??

All wors in windows xp media player is just windows mobile that cant read it. anyone with hints?

If not done already, separate your mp3's into folders by album. Place a .jpg image of the album art into each folder and name the image "Folder.jpg". The image doesn't have to be huge, 240x240 seems to work well. Then album art will show up in Windows Media Player.

There was a folder.jpg in each folder from the get go and it wouldnt work,

after a lot of trial and error it seems that windows mobile media player doesnt take any cover art bigger than 300X300 . I resized the cover art embeded in the mp3 to that size and works fine.... now if I had a tool to do this automatically.
