I see you have changed from the default 32-bit kernel to what is for us still an experimental 64-bit kernel. I strongly suggest you revert to the default 32-bit kernel until everything is working to your satisfaction.
As for those Zend errors
Code:thmcache: mp3: Zend media exception: File does not contain ID3v2 tag of supported version: v2.2
they are relatively harmless in the grand scheme of things but you'll have a more satisfactory use of moOde Library Tag and Album views if you check the tracks using a tool like Mp3tag or similar (you can do a web search on music tagging) and correct any metadata issues.
You haven't said how you associate cover art with albums. Is cover art embedded as metadata in each track? Is a cover art file included in each album directory?
If "USB/Discoteca/LCD Soundsystem/This Is Happening" is "the first album that stops getting the artwork shown" then you could use one of the following commands to explore the associated file system directory, either the longform
Code:ls "/var/lib/mpd/music/USB/Discoteca/LCD Soundsystem/This Is Happening"
or the shortcut
Code:ls "/media/Discoteca/LCD Soundsystem/This Is Happening"
[note that in Linux one needs to use balanced single or double quotes to protect space characters when working from the command shell. Instead, one can escape each space character with a backslash but that gets tedious.]
The output of the command should be a listing of files, pesky dotted files, and subdirectories with permissions, sizes, etc. Post it here.
For example, here's an album (from a street performer I stopped and listened to; he gave me 30 minutes of his time in music and discussion, I bought his self-published CD) in one of my test directories
Code:pi@moode:~ $ ls -laR "/media/MUSIC/FOLK/Brian the Folksinger-A Hobos Dulcimer"

There are no dot files or subdirectories. The Folder.jpg file contains the album's cover art. I used the file command to see if the file is legit jpeg.
[Note that the cover art file can have only certain names (Cover, cover, Folder, folder) and certain image-type file extensions (.gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tif, .tiff)].
You can determine quickly if you have embedded cover art in a track by using the mediainfo command. No tracks in the above album contain embedded cover art so let's test the contents of Tim's Stereo Test directory instead:
Code:pi@moode:~ $ ls -laR "/mnt/SDCARD/Stereo Test"

and you can see it contains cover art in png format.
All this is just exploratory surgery by which we hope to get to a root cause of your issue. Like exploratory surgery, it can get messy.

I use Matadatics (latest version) and the cover art (mostly .jpg or .jpeg) are embedded in the audio files.
Of the two commands you recommended, only the second one worked:
pi@moode:~ $ ls "/media/Discoteca/LCD Soundsystem/This Is Happening"
'01 Dance Yrself Clean.m4a' '06 You Wanted A Hit.m4a'
'02 Drunk Girls.m4a' '07 Pow Pow.m4a'
'03 One Touch.m4a' "08 Somebody's Calling Me.m4a"
'04 All I Want.m4a' '09 Home.m4a'
'05 I Can Change.m4a'
pi@moode:~ $
My music Library works fine on PiCorePlayer, but for some reason a small number of them (15%) does not work uo to the LCD Soundsystem album, and barely any one works after that. It seems a scanning problem rather than anything else...
I will revert to 32bits, but the problem started in 32bits, and I changed to 64bits hoping that may made a (positive) difference, but it made none.
