Just to add my two-pennorth...
There are two ways that album art can be incorporated.
The first has been described above, i.e. a jpg image called Folder.jpg needs to be in the same folder (directory) as the rest of the .mp3 files. This is picked up by Windows Media Player.
TCPMP is slightly different, and seems to need the jpg image embedded in the .mp3 file as mp3 tag data - it won't pick up a separate image from elsewhere in the folder.
TCPMP also seems to be a bit picky on the type of jpg - there are three flavours of jpg file (at least) - baseline standard (used by most browsers), baseline optimised (a file with optimised colour and a slightly smaller file size) and progressive (displays a series of increasingly detailed versions of the image as it downloads) - and TCPMP only seems to like the baseline standard image.
The programs I use for these are Tag&Rename to embed images in multiple files at once, and Photoshop for resaving jpgs which 'don't work' in TCPMP as baseline standard format.
Hope this helps, cheers, Kronalias
