Re: iTunes 4 & Artwork scripting... Ahhh?

It's actually the MP3::Info module, which can be downloaded from:

http://search.cpan.org/author/CNANDOR/MP3-Info-1.02/Info.pm

The way that first line is set up:

perl -MMP3::Info -e '

The "perl -M" command is used to load the module, "MP3::Info"; there is no space between the -M option and the name of the module you're loading.

The -e option processes the rest of the script (the info between the apostrophe at the end of that line and the one at the beginning of the last line) at the command line, running that against "song.mp3", which is the name of the MP3 file you're wanting to process. For example, if the MP3 file I want the coverart for is named "Hurt.mp3", use that instead of "song.mp3".

That perl script does not seem to work for me. I don't have the MMP3 mod
installed (if that is what it is). Fink also does not seem to know abou
it.

Am I totally missing something basic here, or do you have something extra
installed.

Along this same subject, does anyone know what use the "data of the
artwork" is in the dictionary? I can set a variable to this value, but it
seems to be a useless huge pile of text trying to pretend to be a pict
file.

But you can get at it with Perl...

iTunes 4 stores album cover art in the MP3 tag:

perl -MMP3::Info -e '
$file = shift;
$x = get_mp3tag($file, 2, 2);
($i = $x->{PIC}) =~ s/^(....).//;
($e = $1) =~ s/\W//g;
$file =~ s/\.mp3/.$e/;
open $f, ">", $file;
print $f $i;
' song.mp3

This can extract it!

Nope... I can't get anything either. Artwork isn't listed as a
property of track either. Is it not implemented or is the dictionary
incomplete?

Hi All.

Just been playing with iTunes 4 and artwork on tracks.

Just can't seem to get some feedback from iTunes when asking about
size
and format of artwork for current track.

Can you?
