Have you tried a reboot? Maybe some album-cover-changing software on a nearby PC too, just in case?
Its because music software found an image file( probably hidden) in your music folder and decided its a an album picture - easiest and SURE way of fixing this is to arrange ALL your music by folders and put an .JPG Album Art in each folder manually! or do it on pc - download all art and then copy resulting file structure to your SD!
Or you can use albumart downloader app ( for phone , not pc!), like CoverArt Downloader or AlbumArtGrabber _

Or player that does it ( powerAMP, PlayerPro,etc)and replace all art, but make sure you get one that writes it into ID1 tag ! unfortunatly- if you ve got a big music library it will take a while - cause it will probably wont find ALL art , but it worx fine with my 1000 songs, leaving only badly tagged album out

Reason i know- i've had same problem - i got about 40 foldered albums - and they are Covered fine, but my 500+ loose songs ( which are in same folder just above the albums)
are different story - about 90% of them show Xzibit Motherf...r for Cover art
so i've been trying different approaches - Pro Player is best , but it doesnt save into ID1 tag, Cover Art Downloader is limited- i'm looking for full version, about to try AlbumArtGrabber , because im sick of doing it one by one in playerPro( first removing Xzibits, then downloading Art )
For me its bit easier cause ive GOT all artwork in a same folder, but its all in hidden files so , after unhiding all JPGs i have an option in player pro to add art from the album, unfortunatly- its a bit tedious with 500+ songs since it only shows 4 at the time , i'm even considering removing al lart and trying batch download ( also available in PlayerPro)
but since it doesn't write into ID 1tag, this problem could be repeated in a future- thats why i'm gonna try AlbumArtGrabber first to save all this artwork to tags, keep my fingers crossed
ooo also - you can just delete all JPG's from music folder and add only ONE (name it Folder.jpg or AlbumArtLarge.jpg/AlbumArtSmall.jpg- and choose something neutral for an image that would do for most songs
After you've fixed all covers- u can uninstall that Album
art App or player and you'll have to reboot to reset cache for your default android Music player =- which is notourisly slow in applying Cover Art changes otherwise
But as i said- only foolproof way i know - is to prearrange ALL yout music in Artist-Album folders - you can do that automatically on pc by mediamonkey software , unfortunatly its not very prudent when you have most of your mp3s in singles like i do:(
BTW - i'm running stock android 2.1 ROM on my unrooted HTC Wildfire(Buzz) so all these options are suitable for nonrooters
Also FYI, i do know linux ( in fact i'm dual booting my pc Fedora14/Windows7 and 3rd os on VMWare(Server 2008 r2) and pc's in general a bit ( doing my second IT diploma now - SysAdmin, done WebDevelopment already )
Hope my struggles help you
