2) On the N900 many of the album pictures are wrong. Album art from one album shows up as the picture for many other albums. Why is this?

I didn't read answers to these questions in other threads.

1) I'm not sure...

2) I think that if your files have the same (or begin with the same) album names, the phone mixes up the album pictures. The phone creates a temporary file that stores the images (similar to the thumbnail files in windows) in a special folder. If you later add a song that has a similar album name, the older image will be used. If you do a search, there are a few commands you can run to delete the temporary images stored on the phone and then another command to manually refresh the media player. However, I still couldn't fix my problem until I fixed the album names and then ran the commands to delete the older images and manually refreshed the media player.
