Editing Tags on the Player (Zen 32 GB) and Probs with cover

Question

Hi there,
My dearly beloved Creative Zen touch just snuffed it and I replaced it with the Creative Zen 32 GB.
I am very, very satisfied with the player over all.
Only the Tag editing really annoys me.
On my Zen touch I could edit the tags after loading the tracks on to the player.
Not only one by one but say, all from one album at once.
Is this even possible with the Zen touch?
I accidentally tagged an audiobook with 7 CDs wrongly.
Do I have to erase it and load it on the player again?
That would be sooo uncomfortable.
Thanks for your help.
Oh and what do I have to do, to have the pictures of the albums shown on the zen?
I mean, how are these pictures attached to the tracks of an album?

I saw the suggestion earlier in this post to use the tag editing tool within zen media explorer but can't seem to find that on the software I have?
The "Zen Media Explorer" is the MTP device plugin for Windows Explorer. It creates a volume named "Zen Media Explorer" in the list of dri'ves/volumes that appear under "My Computer" or in a top-level explorer window. Since the flash Zen is MTP (not MSC a.k.a. UMS) it doesn't have an assigned dri've letter. It comes as part of the general "software pack" Creative includes with the Zen to handle management, video and image file conversion, etc. You can also grab the latest version/update from the (Support | Downloads | Zen) web page. You may need to use the controls in the bottom-left of the page (scroll all the way down) to filter the list for your particular OS.
The Zen Media Explorer will present a hierarchical list of files on the Zen. When you navigate to a song track, select the song track and bring up the context menu (right mouse button menu) there will be an "Edit Track Properties..." menu item. This displays a dialog box that lets you modify the core ID3 tags the Zen wants to properly organize the internal library (namely Title, Genre, Album, Artist, Track No. and Year). Only those tags can be edited at present. You can't assign/modify Album Artwork this way.
