See

| emms-browser-covers is a variable defined in `emms-browser.el'.
| Its value is 
| ("cover_small.jpg" "cover_med.jpg" "cover_large.jpg")
| 
| Documentation:
| *Control how cover images are found.

| You can customize this variable.
`----

So you can set it to a function which guesses the right cover by the
path name.

It seems `mp3info' doesn't know about cover tags, so I don't know how to
extract them from the mp3s.
