Sorry, was just so used to put the most recent on top in other emails.
Thanx for the help, however -vcodec does not help. I tried both
with copy and with png, but it does not work:

morkeleb at morkeleb-VirtualBox:~/Music$ ffmpeg -i 150.mp3 -i 150.jpg -c:a libaacplus -b:a 48k -map 0 -map 1 -vcodec png -metadata:s:v title="track title" -metadata:s:v author="artist name" 150_encoded.m4a

Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Operation not permitted

I know cover images are generally supported in .mp4/mp4/3gp files -
but does ffmpeg support them too?
Or am I still doing something wrong?
