Help Album Art Problem

Well, I have an issue with my album art. Yesterday I put an album on my phone, and in the folder was an image of the album art. That also got copied over. I leave everything in one giant music folder, so it switched all the songs with no album art... To that.

Now I need to know if there's a way to fix that. I tried deleting the image from the folder, tried deleting all the files in my albumthumbs folder. Nothing worked.
 
1) Delete AlbumArt.jpg from your music folder
2) Grab Cover Art Downloader from Market
3) Open Cover Art Downloader, press Menu > More > Clear all album art
4) (Optional) If you have artwork tagged in your mp3s press Menu > Media Scanner, to detect them (this will take a while since you just cleared everything)
5) Press Menu > Fetch missing covers, to download anything remaining

Since all of your music is stored in a single directory, just don't enable the option to "Save copy of cover art in album folder" because this will put you back at square one.

Oh man, thank you so much. That fixed the problem, plus got me a bunch of album art that I didn't have. Thanks so much dude.
 
I'm glad it worked for you. I almost left the clear all and media scanner features out of the app as I only envisioned they would be good for development and testing, but they have proven to be very useful features in situations like this.
