How do you embed album art into an MP3 using Python?

Question

I\'ve been using mutagen for reading and writing MP3 tags, but I want to be able to embed album art directly into the file.

Answer 1

I've used the eyeD3 module to do this exact thing.

def update_id3(mp3_file_name, artwork_file_name, artist, item_title):    
    #edit the ID3 tag to add the title, artist, artwork, date, and genre
    tag = eyeD3.Tag()
    tag.link(mp3_file_name)
    tag.setVersion([2,3,0])
    tag.addImage(0x08, artwork_file_name)
    tag.setArtist(artist)
    tag.setDate(localtime().tm_year)
    tag.setTitle(item_title)
    tag.setGenre("Trance")
    tag.update()
