I have a iPod touch, and about 7gb worth of music stored on iTunes, which I transferred to my 16gb card on my Desire, I ran into two problems straight away, the Album art that iTunes had automatically added was missing, and with the latest version of iTunes, some of my ID3 tags seemed corrupt ( Track data not showing up correctly ).
How I fixed this :
First of all I downloaded mp3Tag a free nifty program which corrects the mp3 tags, and allso can add Album artwork from Amazon.com.
Fire up the program and hook up your desire as a mounted drive.
Tell the program to look in your music folder on the memory card, it will then read in all your track data.
To fix tag data just highlight the affected songs / album and right click and choose save.
To download album artwork, highlight the whole album and click the Covert Art#amazon.com (Quick) button at the top, 90% of the time it will give you want, if not, click back and alter search string.
Once you've downloaded and fixed all the artwork, and corrected the Tag data that was wrong, unhook the phone then go into Settings -> Manage Applications -> Media Storage and choose clear data, this will wipe the media library database from the phone.
Now power off and switch the phone back on, go into the Music app or Photo's and Videos and the music library will rebuild ..... this can take a long time, be patient
And there you are .... all your flashy album art and track data is fixed.
