Hi Florian,

great news!

Possibly i have missed something: What format are you using? ID3 APIC?

Thomas

Thanks a lot for that!

TheLink, glad that you like it


I'm using the format that is used by the other apps that support cover art for APEv2 (AudioShell and JRMC):

Thank you for the detailed answer!

It would be nice to have one cover art standard for APEv2. Possibly someone could add this as a recommendation to the format specification in the wiki?

Thomas

So what's the current status of "cover art in APEv2 tags" now?

There are two different ways to do it, "The Godfather way" which is inspired by the "ID3v2 way" and then there's the "JRMC way"...?

And what players support displaying the cover art? Was it "none yet"?

Can someone give a summary, please?

And yes, it would likely help speeding things up if you all agree on one standard.

The godfather way is no standard if you ask me, the JRMC is the offical santioned way.

Agreed. That's the way it's done in the MAC library as Matt intended. The wiki is just out of date.

I've just started embeding album art into my wavpacks.

You can easily remove id3v1 tags created by audioshell using foobar and it still leaves the art embeded.

1. go into foobar and hit ctrl+p
2. look under tagging --> mp3 and make sure "Force preferred tag writing scheme on all files regardless of existing tags" is checked
3. save all --> close
4. add, highlight and select an album with audioshell embedded art
5. right click and select tagging --> "rewrite file tags" This will remove id3v1 and force apev2 file tags leaving your album art intact.

of course you can add all your albums and "rewrite file tags" for your entire collection all at once if needed.

mp3tag maybe a better option until this bug is fixed in audioshell

but how to display this natively from wv files while playing in the popular players fb2k/winamp

not possible unless the foo_uie_albumart plugin is modified.

Will embedding and extracting images ever be supported by WavPack executables?
Or is there at least any free command line tool that can perform these tasks?

Is there a good way to get these album images to be embedded through REACT and be visible to FB2K 0.9.5? I can't seem to do it even though it is possible.

EDIT: Is it even supported with the wavpack encoders?

The command-line encoder cannot currently embed cover art because libwavpack only handles text fields in APEv2 tags. This is on my list to improve (perhaps with a stand-alone metadata cli utility), but I can't say when I'll get to it.

In the meantime, I don't know if there's a command-line program to do this, but there are several GUI tag editors that will.

Thanks for your reply. Then I'll be waiting for your stand-alone utility.

Btw.: It would be great if the self-extraction would also include embedded images!
