My music collection consists of APE CD images, with APL files for each song on the CD. I have stored the cover art for each CD within the APL files.
Until recently, everything was fine, but now I suddenly noticed that the visualizations didn't show my cover art anymore. I checked out the properties of the files, looked at the "Image" tab, and saw that the location was changed from "inside file(s)" to "linked to external file ... (I can't read the entire path, but it seems to be somewhere in my temp dir).
The strange thing is, some files are showing the internal image, and some files don't show it.
Here is an example from the album "Odelay" from "Beck":
Track 1, "Devil's Haircut", is OK:
Track 4, "The New Pollution", is not OK:
I didn't change anything inside the tags over the last couple of weeks, except replay gain: I did analyzed my entire collection over the last couple of days, so maybe this has something to do with it.
You can download the two APL files here (144 KB each):

http://users.skynet.be/bk343709/04 - Beck - The New Pollution.apl
How can I "repair" the defective APL files ? Are there any bytes that I could change (I could write a program to automate it) ? Or is there a way I could extract the cover art from the good APL files and add it back using the file properties ?
Downloading all cover art again is really the last option I would consider.
TIA.
