Cannot access picture
Roland1975 opened this issue · comments
I have songs for which I cannot get the picture. iTunes can access them.
Is there any limitation I am not aware of? I provide the files if you are interested in taking a look at them (after your working hours of course lol)
Shared from my Amazon Cloud Drive:

Any idea?
I haven't got the time to look into it yet, but will look into it.
As far as I could see there are no pictures in the tags, Both Quicklook and Get Info only shows the default icon for these two files and it always shows the cover art when it's available.
Here are the tags that I was able to find, in order:
1.mp3
COMM, TIT2, TRCK, TYER, TCON, TALB, TPE1
2.mp3
TALB, TCON, TIT2, TPE1, TRCK, TYER, COMM
The cover would have been under the APIC tag which stands for Attached PICture.
Actually, iTunes shows a cover art -- which means there is some iTunes fallback I'm not aware of :s
Thanks for your time :)
I have just spent an hour to find out why iTunes does access the artwork and not your JS-ID3-Reader.
iTunes Match seems to do some magic behind the scene. A track with basic ID3 metadata allows iTunes Match to match your track with a covert art accordingly.
The artworks are located in /username/music/itunes/Album Artwork. Caution: the artworks are encrypted, which is annoying.
There is a "iGeek" that develops scripts for iTunes, among of which a script that decrypts the artwork and save it your track's folder. Doing so, your are free to save it into your track file. I love when Apple makes things complex.
Interesting, very nice finding!
