Adding Coverarts to same-name-mp3file

[Benninger]

Hi,
I have - let's say - a folder with a hundred of files following the format:
Song One.mp3
Song One.jpg
Next Song.mp3
Next Song.jpg

So every jpg file covers a mp3 file of the same name.
Is it possible to add those jpg file to the according mp3 files without doing it file by file?
