4.14. Attached picture
This frame contains a picture directly related to the audio file.
Image format is the MIME type and subtype [MIME] for the image. In
the event that the MIME media type name is omitted, "image/" will be
implied. The "image/png" [PNG] or "image/jpeg" [JFIF] picture format
should be used when interoperability is wanted. Description is a
short description of the picture, represented as a terminated
text string. There may be several pictures attached to one file, each
in their individual "APIC" frame, but only one with the same content
descriptor. There may only be one picture with the picture type
declared as picture type $01 and $02 respectively. There is the
possibility to put only a link to the image file by using the 'MIME
type' "-->" and having a complete URL [URL] instead of picture data.
The use of linked files should however be used sparingly since there
is the risk of separation of files.
