Okay, I asked my colleagues for a little help and I got it solved now,
but I think I found a bug.

While debugging I changed the mimeType function to this:
    TagLib::String mimeType() const
    {
        TagLib::String fileName = (const char*) this->name();
        unsigned int length = fileName.length();
        TagLib::String fileExt4 = fileName.substr(length - 4, 4);
        TagLib::String fileExt5 = fileName.substr(length - 5, 5);
        fileExt4 = fileExt4.upper();
        fileExt5 = fileExt5.upper();

        if(fileExt4 == ".PNG")
            return "image/png";
        else if(fileExt4 == ".JPG" ||
                fileExt5 == ".JPEG")
            return "image/jpeg";
        else
            return TagLib::String::null;
    }
This code finally works and I got the picture attached!

Now to the bug thing... when I change the third line from (const char*)
to (const wchar_t*) the returned string is empty.
Maybe I got this wrong.. but shouldn't wchar_t just be the same as the
char but in unicode?
