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

[Jeff Lightner]

I'm assuming he meant "binary" as opposed to "text".

So far as I know you COULD use sed on a "binary" file but if it includes
internal checksums or checksum bits doing such a change might cause
issues.

For real fun you could try doing an od of files and modify them that
way.  I used to do a hex edit of some things in DOS with Norton
Utilities back in the dawn of the PC age.

I don't think there is such a thing as non-binary files. ;-) There could
be character encoding issues, I suppose.

Cool. I hope this will make it's way upstream.
