I'm pretty sure that iTunes and MediaMonkey tag album art differently. I have no idea how iTunes does what it does, but MM follows standard tagging conventions. I've bought songs from iTunes and opened them in MediaMonkey to see that some had art, some didn't. So I had to retag them all. I have spent a lot of time doing that. But once files are tagged properly in MM, they all show up fine in my iPod. And if I open them in iTunes they show up properly.
I went online and downloaded album art for all my albums where it was missing, and saved it in the album folder. I also tagged the art directly into the file. Maybe your artwork is all stored in a different place, or was never tagged into the file?
If you don't want to download album art manually, both MM and iTunes allow you to autotag files from the web.
To use iTunes again, just tell it to add your music directories to its library. It should automatically do the rest.
