Nokia s60 album art problem

There’s a problem with the Nokia s60 phones with regard to displaying album art in the music player.
But I think I’ve found a work around for it. The problem in the s60 music player lies in regards with the different types of album art displaying solutions. The album art is displayed in any media player on pc( in my case the windows media player) but when synced to the Nokia s60 phones via the windows media player the album art dies get transferred but is not displayed. The solution is changing the type of album art. There’s a work around in windows media player 10 & 11( not sure about v12) in the library go to the album, select the album and right click on it and select advanced tag editor and in the images tab lies the solution to it. Select the album art and change the type of album art to be displayed to cover(front) and then save it. And then again right click On the album and select update album info and now connect your phone now and sync the changed songs and see that the album art would be displayed whilt playing the song.
You could any mp3 tag editor from the Internet. I personally use mp3tag from mp3tag.de. It’s a freeware program and is very useful. Has many options to change almost any kind of information in the song tags.
