The plugin uses a couple of macOS command line tools ( sips, iconutil, Rez and SetFile) for which I am not sure if they are part of a standard macOS install or if they require xcode with the development utilities being installed.I only gave this plugin basic testing, so please try this carefully on some files and make a backup beforehand.

That wasn’t music, that was a little used OS option you are thinking off there. I assume in that case it would follow the weird Windows method as well - where you right click a folder and go into the options, pick an image to set as the art, and then a hidden file is placed into the folder that contains the art.
