Yes, that's what I needed, it's quite clear then and 'no artwork' issue on Ipod Touch 2.0 will be fixed in a new release we'll make very shortly.

1189 fixed the issue for me. Thanks!

I tried again last night to synchronise my music to correct the artwork problem (as well as the wrong artowrk appearing with the wrong album if I used the cover-flow the artwork was a complete mess with artwork blocking together from multiple albums).

I removed all songs from the Playlist that was set to auto-sync with my iPod Touch (they disappeared from the iPod). I then added a few songs back and tried auto-synch, nothing ended up on the iPod. I changed from playlist to selecting a few songs and tried to sync again, nothing. I've rebooted the iPod and nothing I try will now get MM to synch with the iPod. Any suggestions?

I'can confirm that.
Uploading Artwork seems not to be fixed in the 3.0.6.1189 - RC1 Version.
I can't save the artwork directly to the Ipod nor can MM read the artwork from songs on the ipod.

I also got the strange thing that the artwork got scrambled up - but only for on one song of an album (the other songs don't have any artwork).

I have the same problem with the mixed artwork. Also, if I try to fill the ipod completely, it fills it up, but shows no music.

I've not tried synchronization yet but have the issue that I cannot see the artwork that iPod shows (synced via iTunes) when browsing these pod in MM. This is an iPod Touch 2G.

THANKS for providing all these quick updates!

Just to clarify: MM really doesn't show artwork when browsing iPod/iPhone in case it isn't stored in tags. It possibly will be somehow modified in future version, but it hasn't been done so yet, particularly because of possible confusion caused by sometimes showing artwork from tags, sometimes from the internal DB stored in iPods. That said, everything related to synchronization should work fine, i.e. if you copy tracks from MM to iPod/iPhone, Artwork works fine.

Mhhm. In my case the artwork is in tags- unless iTunes has somehow changed that. If there's any debug info I could provide I'd be happy to do that.

You are probably right, I was rather referring to iPods in general. In case of iPhone/Touch, since it isn't a Mass Storage device (i.e. no drive letter in Windows), MM doesn't normally read tags of the contained tracks. It will possibly also change in some of the future versions.

The issue I was having with mixed up artwork seems to have been resolved. I removed 1188 of MM then deleted the remaining Program Files more importantly I also deleted all the data for Apple and MM under the Apps Data location of my user account. Then I installed MM 1189 and did a rescan of my music. I started with an intial transfer of 150 songs selected as albums from the Synchronisation Interface for the iPod. All seemed fine so I repeated with around 3,000 songs and it still seems fine
