How to fix the iPod/iPhone/iTunes incorrect artwork displayed issue.
I'm making this post in hopes a few search engines pick up on it. Some revisions ago my formerly perfectly performing artwork display on my iPhone started to show the incorrect album artwork for many songs if it showed any artwork at all. I figured out how to fix it and the solution is simple and as far as I can tell nowhere to be found online. I've found a lot of "sort of works" and "worked for me but not him" stuff, this should work for everyone but does require a small bit of involvement.
Usually to add artwork to an album you simply right click and chose "Get Album Artwork" from the menu or you select it from a menu at the top. I figured out the issue, iTunes got broke at some point along the line and only applied the findings to some of the songs in an album. To fix the issue simply chose the "list view" option in the music browser and hold the left Alt key I believe it's called, formerly and Apple key, and I believe it corresponds to the Alt key on a PC and press A so the whole list is highlighter. I'm assuming this fix should work for the Windows version as well. Ctrl+A will do the highlighting on a PC.
After doing that, right click the whole blue highlight lot and chose "Get Album Artwork". That's it. Anything that's found automatically should now be fixed unlike the normal method that should work.
As for albums that don't have artwork on iTune simply chose the icon version of the album browser, double click the album, do the highlight all bit, right click chose "get info" you may get a warning about affecting more than one song, we're cool with this of course, drag and drop the image you want as the album cover into the artwork box on the info tab, also good to go.
