TagLib includes the low-level framework for reading images from WMA
files, but doesn't include a "nice" API for it. Cover art images are
stored in the binary WM/Picture attribute [1] and follow the ID3 APIC
frame format. So, you can get the WM/Picture attribute via
ASF::Tag::attributeListMap()["WM/Picture"], get the binary data from
the attribute and parse it using ID3v2::AttachedPictureFrame. I
haven't done this myself, but I think it should work.
