Informations and additional formats

jte is very simple and uses the awesome taglib library.
Taglib provides an easy-to-implement high-level API to tag music (whatever the format) with commons metadatas such as title, artist, year, etc. But there is no high-level cover feature (for know).
jte tries to help to provide it.

As of now, jte supports MP3, FLAC, M4A, WAV and Opus. If you want to add a format to the list, extend the AudioFile class and register the new format in the format map using the extension it handles.

Pull requests in that way are welcome.
