This software enables users to add cover art images directly to their MP3 files.
Covertagger is a software that aims to provide users with a command-line utility for adding album art images to mp3 files. With a simple and straightforward design, Covertagger scans your music folder and tries to match an image either downloaded from Amarok or stored in the same folder as the mp3 file. This way, whenever you move or copy your music collection elsewhere, the album art will be automatically added to your mp3 files.
If you are interested in installing Covertagger, a simple "make" command should be enough as long as you have all the necessary dependencies installed. In case of failure, you can use the provided g++ command to compile Covertagger. Once you have the executable file, you can copy it to the desired location.
Using Covertagger is incredibly easy. Simply run the "covertagger" command followed by the path(s) to your music folder along with various options. Covertagger will search recursively into each directory specified and build a list containing all the mp3 files it found. For instance, if you want to use the -afv options, run "covertagger ~/music -afv".
There are several options available when using Covertagger. You must at least use the -f or -a option; otherwise, nothing will happen. If you wish to modify your files, rerun the command with the -m option. If multiple options are specified and an album art image is found by both methods, the one found by the -f option will have priority.
Here is a list of some available options:
-m: modify. No files will be modified unless this flag is specified.
-a: Amarok. Looks for album art from Amarok files.
-f: folder. Looks for a .jpg or .png image in the same folder as the mp3.
-r: replace. Replaces album art if there is already one present.
-d: delete. If no album art is found with the -f and/or -a option, delete album art from the mp3 file.
-x: delete all. Deletes all album art from every mp3 and exits.
-l: list no cover. Lists all files without album art and exits.
-v: verbose. Prints more information along the way.
-q: quiet. Prints less information along the way.
-h: help. Prints a help message.
All in all, if you are looking for a simple and efficient way to add album art to your mp3 files, Covertagger is an excellent choice. Its ease of use, along with the multiple options available, makes it a must-have for any music enthusiast.
