iOS AVPlayer reads a streamed file head in ~32 KB range requests and cannot
reach audio until it is past the ID3 tag - a 955 KB embedded JPEG cost ~30
sequential round trips, a two-second silence Android never feels. 28% of the
library (20,487 files, 1,488 albums) carries art that size.
Keeps an embedded front cover (other users of these files see it) but at
600px/JPEG stepped to fit 80 KB, ~3 chunks. Audio region is hashed before
and after; any mismatch keeps the original. Rescues art to cover.jpg first
when the folder has none.
