id3-extract-cover

A simple utility used to extract album covers from id3v2 encoded mp3 files, used in cmus-rg.

install (unix)

install taglib (taglib.org) with development headers
use make to compile cmus-rg, or make install to compile and install to /bin (requires elevated permissions)
run with ./id3-extract-cover MP3, or id3-extract-cover if id3-extract-cover has been installed to /bin

features in need of implementation

one day for sure

support for mp3
- id3v2 header
support for flac
- id3v2 header
- id3v2 in flac files seem to be extinct, wherever I searched I couldn't find any which actually have encoded id3v2 tags, but it's implemented (albeit untested) nonetheless
- flac header
support for ogg vorbis
- seems to be a bit buggy and occasionally not work
support for mp4

Note: id3v1 header cannot encode any images
