My 2 cents.......but first I am guessing your issue might be
(1) you need to rescan your music after making changes ? (Neutron doesn't update automatically with that though new albums have shown for me I believe)
(2) related to tags - what version are your tags and what software have you checked them with ?
- Mine for example are:
a) 90% Vorbis (Flac)
b) 10% - ID3V2.4 (though also in addition tagged with ID3v1 and most also with APE)
- I use cover.jpg with each album with its own directory eg music\artist\album\songs mostly but have a few where it is in tags (variety of artists in 1 directory in that case).
Using mp3tag you can confirm if your tags are correct - my understanding is this - if your tags are correct in this program it would be exceedingly unlikely for them not to work in Neutron.

Q: I do not see album art, does Neutron support it?
A: Yes. Being not usual Android application Neutron does not use Android internal media database and thus will not pick album art from it. Neutron builds own media database and searches for album art in: folders where music files are located, or tags of music files. So, to have album art visible make sure that either one of these 2 conditions is met. Using one of the free Android apps for album art downloading/extraction would really help to sort out this.

(1) about your Album Art not showing
We cannot help you if you do not tell us how your album art is arranged
- a JPEG in an Album's directory ?
- tags with all songs in one directory ?
- do none show or only some ?
(2) About using its own database - my vote is +1 for Dmitry NOT to use the default database
- easy to use, simply choose directory and add
- I have 500 cds and the default (not Neutron) takes around 40 mins to do a complete rebuild versus 1 minute with Neutron, also on ICS the default rebuilding crashes a lot.
- Other players eg TTPod have their own database
I keep all my music in the default directory so I can use these programs - I have 500 CDs all with correct tagging and album art working in Neutron (only 1 album with corrupted tags - should redo that 1)
