As it appears to only 1 jpg that SS is having problems with, have you tried changing that jpg?

It happens on all songs on all albums

Something appears with java if it's having trouble with fonts. Try reinstalling tomcat.

I have but still no go.

do you know which font package needs to be installed on the system?

After doing more research I found that the free java virtual machine was causing the issue. The system had icedtea6-bin installed. I installed sun-jdk-1.6 and set it as the default java vm. Once tomcat was restarted and IE 9 put into compatability mode everything worked.
