[id3lib-devel] Help setting a picture in the tag

[Matt W. <wa...@gm...>]

Hi all:

I've gotten just about everything to work with this lib, including READING
pic's, but writing pic's seems to break.

Here's a simple program that yields an MP3 file with an image nothing seems
able to parse:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    if (argc < 2)
    { return 1;
    }

    ID3_Tag myTag(argv[1]);

    ID3_AddPicture(&myTag, "album_2.png", "", true);

    myTag.Update(ID3TT_ID3V2);

    return 0;
}

When I look at the id3info dump for this file, I see the following.  Note
the 'APIC' entry is missing the 'PNG':

Compared to the same mp3 with the same picture (properly) put in that does
have the 'PNG'.

*** mp3 info

I have also tried doing this manually by setting up the frame myself.  No
matter what I do, the ID3FN_IMAGEFORMAT paramter never actually gets written
out - which is my only clue right now.  I even made sure my image file is
valid by extracting it from a the known-good mp3 file.

HELP!
