I know that there are lots of posts on album art, but I can't figure out what is driving the MMA behavior. I have around 250 albums on MMA, synced directly from MMW. They all showed artwork until a few days ago, but then my phone (Galaxy S6) updated to the latest android version (5.1.1) and virtually all of the album art disappeared - only around 10 albums still showed artwork on MMA. I spent a lot of time fooling with settings to try to fix this, but was unable to do anything. The album art is all on the phone - if I look in the music directory the art is in the folder for each album (right where MMA put it when it synced) but MMA will not show it anymore.
The only "tip" I could find in the forums was to erase all of the music from my phone and do a clean re-sync. I have done this (it took many hours), but see inconsistent results in how MMA deals with album art. All but a few of my albums now show album art in MMA. For the albums which do not show art, the sync did bring the album art file down to the phone - but MMA does not display it.
Could some one post a tutorial on how to resolve album art issues on MMA? Adding missing art is straight forward on MMW, but I haven't found any instructions which tell how to resolve issues on MMA.
(I am using MMW version 4.1.8.1751 with a gold license, and MWA version 1.1.2.0419)
