Album Artwork Problem

Not really a major problem but on my iPod nano 8GB, some of the album artworks show up as black squares on both "Now Playing" Screen and when browsing the cover flow; despite them showing up properly on iTunes.
anyone else having this problem, and any way to solve it?

I had the exact same problem. The only solution i could come up with is reseting the ipod to factory presets, then syncing all of my stuff back onto my nano.

Unknown exactly what caused it as all of the albums I had that displayed black are fine now.

First try Resetting the iPod by holding the menu and center buttons, this fixed this issue with the older iPods displaying a white artwork menu. The next step is to open the iPods Music preferences in iTunes with the iPod connected. Rebuild the iPod's artwork cache by removing the check from "Display album artwork on your iPod", click Apply, recheck it once the iPod has re-synced and click apply again. If the problem persists Restore it using iTunes, Restore will erase all data off the iPod.

I manually manage my stuff, and the same thing happened to me. I just deleted the offending album from my iPod, in the library version I reapplied the art. It worked!
