Hey, I'm having trouble with the album artwork on my iPhone.

A lot of the albums I have weren't purchased on iTunes so they're missing artwork. So I decided to upload my own artwork, but I'm having an issue.

For example, I created my own artwork for this album. It shows up fine when the song is playing like here:

But in the artist list, the artwork next to the album shows up as a black square. All the songs in that album have the same artwork. It just doesn't show up in the artist's album list. Ex:

It's happening to several albums that I have to upload artwork for. I've searched online for a solution but I haven't found one yet... So thanks in advance :)

Go under i tunes and get artwork.
See if there is more than one cover listed there. If there is, delete the black one.
 
Hey, i had the same issue. Try removing all your music and rescyning it. I cant remember but i think i to Restore it and set it up as a new iPhone.

hmm. i can't exactly do that because i have a bunch of music on my ipod that's not on my computer (downloaded on previous machines). plus all the music in my itunes library is labelled incorrectly and unorganized.

How did you add the artwork? Through itunes?
