Songbird is unauthorized free music download website. Because they arent part of a large music selling company, they are more likely not to have the correct formats set for mp3 players or other music devices. You have to have the right formats to get organization for the songs to match with correct artist and album. Example: If there is a song that has format WMV and the song's album is format WAV,then its gonna confuse your music device, so the music device will put the WMV format song with the wrong WMV format album in its alphabetical order instead of the songs matching album WMV format. So restore your mp3 player and try to use a legalized music download website.
There are 3 possible ways in getting the album art for your music album.
Album art may be obtained from the online Music CD database that Windows Media Player uses.
Note: Not all music albums have album art available in the online CD database.
From the online music store where you purchased your songs or albums, the album art may be downloaded along with your purchase.
You may also create your own album art by transferring your
favorite jpg photo into the selected album folder and rename it to Album
Art.jpg.
To download album art from the online database and transfer to the player.
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
Launch Windows Media Player.
Go to Tools> Options> Player.
Make sure the "Enable picture support for devices" check box is selected.
Click the Apply, then the OK buttons.
Select the "RIP" tab on the task menu bar.
Insert your music CD into the CD drive of your computer. The Windows
Media Player will take a few seconds to show the content of the CD on
the display.
Click "Find Album Info".
The Player accesses the database hosted by WindowsMedia.com and
displays information about the album in the Album Information pane. The
album art will be shown if available.(Note: For some music CD, album art may not be found in any of the online database.)
Click Finish to update all the information about your album and show it in the Rip pane.
Connect your Device to the computer.
Select the tracks that you would like to rip by clicking in the check b
ox next to the track.
Click the Rip music button to start ripping the music CD.
Once the tracks are finished being ripped to the library, go to
the Media library and select the songs that you have just ripped.
Add them to the sync list and transfer them into your Device. The album art will be transferred along with those selected songs.
Disconnect the Device from your computer.
Make sure that the option in your Device has been selected to display the album art on the device, at Settings-> Album art.
To create your own album art and transfer it to the Device
In Windows Media Player , right click on the song you want to update the album art of.
Select "Advanced Tag Editor" option.
In the screen that pops up , select the "Pictures" tab.
Use the drop down list to make sure that the type of picture you add is the Cover (front).

Hope this information helps. If it does, please do not forget to give me a rating and a comment.
I clearly understand your problem.....the best way to sort it would be to create a new music folder...put all album folders separately in this new folder....rename songs in the respective albums folder and then sync this folder to your player....try with a couple of songs first...if it works you can change your entire library as mentioned above....a difficult job...but helps manage your music better..:)
To do this you're going to have to re-copy all of the music you want album art for to your G1! Sorry! But here goes...
Firstly, the reason the album art isn't there is because it wasn't bought online, therefore the album art may not be encoded onto the songs. However it's not that hard to encode art yourself on Windows Media Player.
You have to look for the album art online, and save it on your computer. Then, find the songs you want on Windows Media Player (if they are from the same album then ctrl+click them all) then right click. On the right-click menu there should be an option called Advanced Tag Editor. Click that, then the Pictures Tab, and click Add. Then find your album art and select Cover (Front) from the Picture Type drop down menu. Hopefully that will encode your songs with the album art, then you can sync them with WMP or copy and paste them as normal.
Before you select to rip the songs, edit them by renaming them - song - artist - album etc... then rip the music. Right click and select edit, then rename, press the tab key to go to the next selection artist etc.. and rename. You can also rip the music then go online to let media player find the details, but they do not always find the right details for the correct albums, so I always rename my albums myself
Resync one more time - disable any options that automatically add missing title/album info, b/c it will really screw up obscure albums and songs that appear in more than one album - double-check Rhapsody help site for instructions on how to disable this automatic feature.
If you use a fileshare program to download music, sometimes some of the song information is changed and/or deleted. The album information is probably still with the song, but the artist info isn't. It's really stupid but the only thing you can do is just find the song through albums instead of artist.
