Sadly I tried this, and it didn't work.do you have the album art embedded in all songs in that album?
if yes, but Xbox Music still haven't show up the album art, then try this:
turn off Show streaming music in my collection.
Go to the album that album art is missing, select all song, delete all of them.
Verify that album was deleted
Use Windows phone app for Desktop to sync again.
I fixed all missing/wrong album art by using this. Hope it can help!

I have the album Pink Floyd - The Final Cut, and the phone keeps showing the following album art:

I have wiped all the metadata from the MP3's, and re-entered it. No change. I have used XBM on my laptop to update the metadata. No change. I have wiped the phone and have only put this album on the phone, it still displays the wrong album art. I have checked the hidden "album" folder under the "Music" folder (where it stores the cached album art) and it shows the proper album art, but again XBM on the phone shows the wrong album art.
Maybe they listen to music on their iPhone or Android.)In reply to Guzzler3:
Lol I get mismatched album art all the time...even with the id3 tags tagged correctly. However w/ the old music app, this doesn't happen. I'm thinking that xbm is reading tags incorrectly or is using a completely different metadata database where it looks up metadata. Im not using the new xbm till this gets fixed. I have all these "non-mainstream" indie artists on my phone that have completely different art than what it should be. I'll probably be using the old music app for another couple of years since it seems that everyone on the xbm team a) doesn't listen to music on their phones or b) don't even own windows phones.
dby2011,
Been there, done that.
So far the only way I found to clear the album art cache, is to reset the phone back to factory. And I'm sick and tried of doing it (I've lost count how many times I've done it, trying to figure out this XBM nightmare).
Yep. You can delete to your hearts content from the XBM app, or by any other means. Then connect your phone to a computer, open file explorer, turn on "show hidden items", navigate to the phone internal storage, "Music", and you will see a couple hidden folders ("Albums", "Artists", "Playlists", "PodcastSeries"). "Albums" is where the album art cache is located. I've tried deleting the contents, but keep getting errors. The contents of the some of the other hidden folders, you can delete, and XBM will rebuild the contents on the next run.That stinks-I assumed if you delete the music inside the app it will clear the cash-so you are saying it won't?
