I can see that other people are experiencing this problem so thought I would share my findings.
Turns-out that cover art image files for the Sony zx2 cannot be 'progressively' encoded. Only 'Baseline' encoded jpeg files will work.
That applies to images saved in the same album folder (folder.jpg) and/or artwork embedded into tags (ID X.X Tags or Vorbis Comments).
I'll let others call out their favorite image editing app (irfanview, Xnview, etc) but you just need to re-save your image file as non-progressive.
The process I followed was;
* extract all my embedded image files (used Tag&Rename)
* scan all the directories for 'progressive' jpegs (exiftool)
* losslessy re-encode the jpegs to 'baseline' (jpegtran)
* re-embed all the modified image files back into the music files (dbpoweramp batch encoder)
* and finally - re-copy those files to my Sony zx2
Hope this helps someone.
