Subject: [PATCH] Fix cover.jpg not using Cover Art Archive high-res source
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The MusicBrainz release ID found by _embed_source_ids was stored in the
metadata dict but never propagated to album_info. The old code tried to
write album_info['musicbrainz_release_id'] inside _embed_source_ids, but
album_info wasn't in that function's scope — causing a silent NameError.

Fix: copy the MBID from metadata to album_info in _enhance_file_metadata
(where both are in scope) right after _embed_source_ids returns. This
makes _download_cover_art see the MBID and use Cover Art Archive for
cover.jpg instead of falling back to the smaller Spotify/iTunes thumbnail.
