MMA 1.x relies on Google Media Scanner for scanning of media files. This can cause problems.
A direct MMW > MMA Sync should bypass these problems, however proper organization of files on the device and tags are still recommended. So as mentioned above:
1) Both Album and Album Artist tags need to be in order and unique to each Album to have MMW Sync a different Artwork per Album. If MMW sees files as one Album, only 1 Artwork will be Synced. Furthermore Artwork needs to be in order in MMW, as Sync will Sync only 1 Artwork from 1 file on the Album.
2) Having Albums in their own folder is also recommended. Especially when Artwork are Synced as image files (instead of embedded), it's best to have an Album folder with this Artwork, instead of having multiple Albums in a folder with multiple Artworks.
MMA 2.x will introduce its own scanner which should improve things.
