+Import a picture and store it in a PICTURE metadata block. More than one --picture command can be specified. Either a filename for the picture file or a more complete specification form can be used. The SPECIFICATION is a string whose parts are separated by | (pipe) characters. Some parts may be left empty to invoke default values. FILENAME is just shorthand for "||||FILENAME". The format of SPECIFICATION is
+
+[TYPE]|[MIME-TYPE]|[DESCRIPTION]|[WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH[/COLORS]]|FILE
+
+TYPE is optional; it is a number from one of:
+
+0: Other
+
+1: 32x32 pixels 'file icon' (PNG only)
+
+2: Other file icon
+
+3: Cover (front)
+
+4: Cover (back)
+
+5: Leaflet page
+
+6: Media (e.g. label side of CD)
+
+7: Lead artist/lead performer/soloist
+
+8: Artist/performer
+
+9: Conductor
+
+10: Band/Orchestra
+
+11: Composer
+
+12: Lyricist/text writer
+
+13: Recording Location
+
+14: During recording
+
+15: During performance
+
+16: Movie/video screen capture
+
+17: A bright coloured fish
+
+18: Illustration
+
+19: Band/artist logotype
+
+20: Publisher/Studio logotype
+
+The default is 3 (front cover). There may only be one picture each of type 1 and 2 in a file.
+
+MIME-TYPE is optional; if left blank, it will be detected from the file. For best compatibility with players, use pictures with MIME type image/jpeg or image/png. The MIME type can also be --> to mean that FILE is actually a URL to an image, though this use is discouraged.
+
+DESCRIPTION is optional; the default is an empty string.
+
+The next part specfies the resolution and color information. If the MIME-TYPE is image/jpeg, image/png, or image/gif, you can usually leave this empty and they can be detected from the file. Otherwise, you must specify the width in pixels, height in pixels, and color depth in bits-per-pixel. If the image has indexed colors you should also specify the number of colors used. When manually specified, it is not checked against the file for accuracy.
+
+FILE is the path to the picture file to be imported, or the URL if MIME type is -->
+
+For example, "|image/jpeg|||../cover.jpg" will embed the JPEG file at ../cover.jpg, defaulting to type 3 (front cover) and an empty description. The resolution and color info will be retrieved from the file itself.
+
+The specification "4|-->|CD|320x300x24/173|http://blah.blah/backcover.tiff" will embed the given URL, with type 4 (back cover), description "CD", and a manually specified resolution of 320x300, 24 bits-per-pixel, and 173 colors. The file at the URL will not be fetched; the URL itself is stored in the PICTURE metadata block.
