Howto Write APIC Tag with Mutagen

[Joe]

Hi,

I am also working on exact the same Project. I want Amarok to write
the Cover to the Mp3 file. So they will show up on my mobile.

The following page describes how to write Tags with mutagen and
python:
http://www.mydigitallife.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1046123&Itemid=43

I've managed to write Simple Tags like Artist or Title, but I was not
able to write the APIC tag.

Here is my Pythonscript:
import mutagen
from mutagen.id3 import APIC
audio = mutagen.File('alles.mp3')
imagedata = open('cover.png', 'rb').read()
pic = APIC(3, 'image/png', 3, 'Front cover', imagedata)
pic.HashKey
print audio

Maybe someone get this to work or can give some hints why this does
not work.

Best regards
Joe

Hi Joe,

here is an example how to add cover art to an MP3 file:

from mutagen import id3, mp3
file = mp3.MP3('test.mp3')

imagedata = open('cover.png', 'rb').read()

file.tags.add(id3.APIC(3, 'image/png', 3, 'Front cover', imagedata))
file.save()

Thanks for your quick reply.

Never mind. Your code works perfectly.
