You can't insert a jpeg into a mp3.

However you can use a tag format that allows you to add tags (including a tag that allows pictures) to a mp3 file.

You would have to decide which tag format you wish to use and then check and see if there is a FPC implementation for that specific tag format.

As far as I know, VLC retrieves album covers from the Internet and displays them, when it identifies that your mp3 is a commercial song.

I forgot to mention: It is also possible to use an existing (commandline) tag utility and invoke that from within FPC/Lazarus to add a picture.

@RayoGlauco:
VLC also has a plugin that supports tags (libtags, APE etc)

Here I found something that seem to support a plethora of tags and audio formats though I have no experience with it so no idea if is any good.

Yes, technically you can insert an image in an mp3 file, but it deviates from the standard.
(I wrote the mp3 decoder for delphi back in the days and 100% pascal. It contains a bug, though, the resolution is one bit short, but it works, and nobody complained.. at the time I did not pay attention to signed or unsigned.)
