The size of the Zune album art is 240 by 235 pixels in JPEG (.jpg) format. To update, right click on the album, select Update album art (Add album art when there is no image on Zune at all) from the menu, then choose an image from your computer.

The default Zune album art which provided by the Zune software is named as ZuneAlbumArt.jpg and stored as a hidden file in the folder of the music files. The customized image is named as ZuneCustomAlbumArt.jpg, also stored in the same directory.

If you want to edit the image, but can’t find the original or the one in the music folder, please make sure hidden files are shown, here is the tutorial: How to View Hidden Files and Folders in Windows Vista?

Hints: If the ZuneCustomAlbumArt.jpg didn’t show up on the Zune, cut and paste the hidden file to desktop, reopen Zune software, repeat Update album art, Zune software will put the ZuneCustomAlbumArt.jpg (make sure it’s 240×235 pixels) as a hidden file back to the folder again, and you should see the image on Zune this time.

The worse case, close the Zune software, disconnect the Zune, cut and paste the whole album (the folder which contain the music files and the album art) to a directory which Zune software is not monitored, such as the desktop. Reconnect the Zune, that album will be removed (assume Zune is monitoring the folder), close the software and disconnect the Zune. Copy the album back to the Zune monitored music directory, reconnect the Zune, it should open the software automatically. If the Zune didn’t pick up the album, you can drag the folder into the Zune software under the music collection.

The worst case, sell your PC and Zune, buy a Mac and an iPod.

Designed exclusively for use with your Zune, the home A/V pack includes everything you need to amplify your Zune experience in the comforts of your own home. Included is a set of helpful products for integrating your Zune with your big-screen TV and the best speakers in your house. Once the screen and speakers are connected, sit back and relax with the included wireless remote that puts you in control from virtually anywhere in the room. Listen to music through home stereo speakers or show off photos and videos on a TV screen. When you buy the Zune home AV pack, you’ll get an AC adapter, an AV output cable, a dock, a sync cable, and a wireless remote. The included dock features a pair of built-in outputs for maximum versatility: a connector port for syncing and charging your Zune, and an audio/video output with a built-in audio amplifier.

The connector port is a handy option for people who want to sync or charge their Zune without fumbling under the desk for the sync cable, as the cable instead plugs right into the dock. The A/V port, meanwhile, lets you connect the dock to a stereo system or TV for full-featured playback. In both cases, all you have to do is drop your Zune into the dock and it will charge, sync, or play back via the connected devices–no extra connections required. Plus, the dock includes an integrated IR receiver for use with the included wireless remote. The IR receiver and remote give you quick access to your current playlist, as well as full control over menu navigation and volume. The dock even includes a small built-in slot that holds the remote–a convenient and stylish way to store the remote when not in use. A Zune sync cable is also included–a necessary accessory to connect your Zune to the included AC adapter. The AC adapter is a great way to charge a Zune without the need for a nearby computer; simply plug the AC adapter into an adjacent outlet. With the AC adapter, your Zune will be 90-percent charged after only two hours, and fully charged in about three hours.
