So I just upgraded to the Lumia 920, and I sync'd my music with the mac windows phone connector app.
On my Lumia 800, I sync'd with the same version of the windows phone connector and every song has their album art intact, however following the same steps with Lumia 920, the album art only shows a grey box.
Does any one know what is causing this issue?

Hello forumers,
I recently transferred my songs to my Galaxy S II, but the album cover is all blurred out and looks horrible! I used iTunes when I was still using my iPod Touch and they all look great. I usually use album art cover size 500x500 and copy and paste on Windows Media Player and also sync my phone through there and not KIES, since KIES seems randomly erase information about the song e.g. Artists. I do not know how to fix this problem about the cover art... Can someone please point me to the write direction? Much appreciated!
EDIT: I have also tried MixZing(always freezes), Dualtwist Player, and the stock Google Music App, but they all look blurry and the same.
Hi
Before lumia I had HTC HD2 and I was using wp7 on it for some time (but the baterry was horrible compared to android) and in Music & video app if I was playing music, background was picture of band or something like this, and there was also artist info. Now with lumia I don't have it.
Is it because I'm in Poland? And is there any way to make it be there (but I want to use my polish live account/ for hd2 I used US account, because I had to get this live access code...)
Did you check, if your ID3 tags are still valid. It's possible that other tags are read instead of the ones that the HTC reads. You have like 'Artist', 'AlbumArtist' and 'ContributingArtist' try filling up the blanks on your tags. On my Lumia, when I pres the 'power' button, the phone will light up and show me the tracktitle and artist from the song it's playing. No worries here!
Check also in Zune what happens when you import this artist/music.
No, ID3 tags are good, names are displayed properly. But when I had wp7 on HD2 (with US live account) in music & video app background was picture of band, and there was another "bookmark" for band biography, also tile was live and displayed currently playing band picture. And now with PL account and lumia there is no such thing.
It's the same for me as well.
I know it sounds silly but in settings/lock+wallpaper there is an option to show artist when playing music, Maybe something you overlooked? Also in Settings/Applications/music+videos connect with zune should be on, hope that sorts it for ya.
ok heres my problem,
i changed my windows live id by resetting my phone so that i could use my country (india) features in marketplace.. but now my zune player got crappy.. it doest show the album art on my lock screen nor does it have that artist info etc.
is there a solution?
settings -> lock+wallpaper ->show artist when playing music -> on
Make sure Zune recognizes your music.
all the settings are correct
it was working fine tilll i changed my windows live id
any solutions?
I have a few songs in other languages. The names don't display properly in Music hub, instead, they show up as random screwed up characters. this didn't happen before with my Samsung focus. do you guys know how to solve this problem?
Thank you

Check the mp3 meta tags on your PC, it might have some broken characters on fields thats not used on the android.
The Xbox Music hub on Windows Phone 8 is a freaking TRAIN-WRECK!! I'm just about to go return my Lumia 920 to the AT&T store over this very issue. I copy music over to my WP8 handset (I have to use Windows Media Player or just plain, old drag-and-drop, because the Windows Phone 8 desktop app refuses to run on my HP Pavilion laptop, running Win7 Home Premium x64, that I just bought in May; it says, "WindowsPhone has stopped working" EVERY SINGLE time I plug my phone into the PC), and the stupid xBox Music service rewrites metadata (ID tag) info on a lot of songs that I copy over to the phone, resulting in multiple copies of the same CD (2 tracks will be on the original CD; and 3 tracks may be on the new, Xbox-created CD, which may just be missing brackets around the words "Disc 1"); it deletes album art that I saw on the phone previously, and it downloads artist background images for only about 10% of the music I put on my phone! I'm VERY anal about the metadata (ID tag) info on my music files being correct, and I had NO problems like this on my Windows Phone 7/7.5 devices.
Putting music on my phones is very important to me, and it's very important to me that it work the way it should! I listen to music off my phone through my car stereo, and I don't want to have to carry around an additional device.

It doesn't matter what the metadata (ID tag) info says on your PC; once you copy it over to the phone, the Xbox music service will rewrite it if it doesn't match what it thinks it should be, scewing the hell out of how you had your music organized! The only way to prevent this is to turn off "Connect to Xbox Music Service" in settings, but then you won't get any artist background images!

Yes this is annoying indeed, I just noticed that you could disable the xbox music metatag option for the mac sync program, but the option seems to be missing on the windows app.
Before I make a seperate thread.... are there any good other media players for WP8?
I've only been using this phone for two days, but I haven't found any!
Im used to using Winamp on my Android device, its simply using the directory its store in albums, a nice progress bar you could slide through (handy for audiobooks). Does Wp8 even have something similar?

I am able to see my songs in xbox on the lumia 920 and able to listen to them
But when i connect my Lumia 920 to the laptop and use explorer to locate the album / songs they are not visible (not found)
What happened to them or where are they located
TIA
If the music is actually on the Lumia then is is under Windows Phone/phone/music/album.
Not sure what you mean by in XBOX unless you mean when you connect your phone to your XBOX. If that is the case then the music is actually on your XBOX.
