#11 Album cover in ID3

[Bosselut Cyril]

I'll be great if you can add the ability to add album cover in
the ID3 tag.
The frame is ID3FID_PICTURE and the field ID3FN_DATA.
you can read it like this:

ID3_Frame* myFrame = myTag->Find(ID3FID_PICTURE);
ID3_Field* myField = myFrame->GetField(ID3FN_DATA);
const uchar* data = myField->GetRawBinary();
size_t size = myField->Size();

I've implement it in my Karamba version and that's working
well.
JPEG and BMP formats are supported.
Bye Cyril.

I'm assuming that writing the album cover works in almost the same
way?

Saving is like this:
ID3_Tag myTag;
myTag.Link("song.mp3"); // link to file id3_tag
ID3_Frame* myFrame = myTag->Find(ID3FID_PICTURE);
ID3_Field* myField = myFrame->GetField(ID3FN_DATA);
myField->Set(data, size);
myTag.Update(); // update the tag (no change are made without
this)

you could use the freedesktop.org standard to find the covers
(maybe?) iirc that is folder.jpg in the smae directory as the
mp3 file or folder.png
