This is quite a bit more appealing than just duplicating the simple Strawberry logo :)

Example of what this looks like from within Discord:

Song: Add ALAC song type

Transcoder: Allow transcoding to ALAC

GPodDevice: Add ALAC to supported file types for iPods

There are some iPods which do not support ALAC, but they are quite rare. Anything 3rd gen
and newer, which most people are likely to be using, will work if upgraded to the latest
firmware (they probably are already on it...)

I think we need to do this differently as this will request covers for each song change in addition to the original request if the cover was missing.
Have you checked if Discord accepts data URI scheme?

I haven't, but I'm not sure if it will work, given that the image URL is limited to 128 characters (640k ought to be enough for anybody), I don't think it would fit.

Possibly we could also make it an option. I took that approach in wgsdk (my winamp plugin for discord presence) as well.

It looks like Discord does support the file:// URI scheme, so we could save the cover data to a temp file (png, jpg, webp, pick your poison) and let Discord load from that.

Nevermind, the code in question was to support uploading to an external website that Discord can then download the image from.
