Zune does not embed album art in the mp3. It puts the cover in the folder as a jpg (usually its a hidden file). You can use a program like mp3tag to embed the cover in the actual mp3 file and all devices will then see the cover. That really is the only peeve I ever had about the Zune player and software was how album art was handled. I loved the Zune software and hope that Xbox music will eventually be closer to the functionality of the Zune software.
