I have a similar problem. A couple of hours ago the album art was there and now, poof, a three or four disappeared. It seems there are two types of placeholders, at least in Fishbone: the contour of the ones I don't have album art are dark grey, and the ones that just disapeared are black. I

Can't help you on #1, but on #2 as has been mentioned elsewhere (can't recall the specific thread now), because the artwork view is part-and-parcel of album view, it no longer makes much logical sense to exclude albums without art from the listings. In other words, this was a conscious design
