[ale] Changing ID3 APIC tag, anyone know...

[James Sumners]

Try [1]. I can't browse the source code for it to see if it uses
image/jpg or image/jpeg because SF has royally screwed up their
website. But it shouldn't be too hard to change the code to do what
you want (it would just be a string change after all).
