The picture is basically appended to the end of the mp3 or wma file. I don’t know all the details about how it’s appended.

Ok, so I followed the directions and WMP changed ALL the pictures for the whole album. I wanted to have different pictures for different songs, much like the NIN albums.
Thanks for the info!
