Not a major issue but noticed only four albums on my usb stick had accompanying album art which struck me as odd as on my media players (cowon and fiio) and windows media player all albums and associated singles showed the art.
Following a bit of googling I found the answer, with the exception of the four albums all the others did not have the art embedded into each track. Audio 20 looks for embedded art whereas windows media player and the media players I use show art in the albums file folder.
So how to embed art into individual tracks?
There are music ID tag editors available that allow you to edit the information. I found a free program called tagscanner that allows you to load all your music files then select an album at a time, by double clicking the album you select all the tracks from here you add album art and save the change it even allows you to set the size of the art I used 200x200, useful as some art was a lot bigger. As a note I use windows media player which automatically downloads art and saves as a hidden system file, by de selecting hide system files in file explorer view options you can gain access to them. The tagscanner program when selecting to insert picture from file opens the albums folder you are editing from there you can select the art already downloaded.
This took me about four hours for around 900 albums/8000 track note make changes on files on your PC (make a backup first in case things go Pete tong) then load onto usb if you try to edit files on usb it will take longer to save changes to the stick , it was a Sunday and I had a hangover after having a Saturday afternoon watching the Calcutta cup.
