I seem to be having the same problem with a 5G that serf mentioned in the 11.1.67 release post:

Mystery #1 - I have a Nano & a 5G.  I initialized each & filled them via 11.67.  On the Nano, album art is fine.  On the 5G, the album art is "garbled" - like the horizontal banding is out of synch (including the MC logo).  Do I have something set wrong in MC or on the 5G?

The album art does not display correctly.  Not only is it garbled, it is also somewhat smaller than it should be.  11.1.66 transferred the cover art correctly...though I did have the playback issues after transferring a large amount of files.

This is after restoring, re-initiallizing, etc.
