Hi, I need to tag MP3 files with a Cover Art in C#...
Is there any easy way to do this? I found UltraID3Lib as an exampel and it is great for regular ID3 tagging but I cant handle the cover art. If someone know an easy way to do this would it be great :)

A:
I do something like this:
private static void FixAlbumArt(FileInfo MyFile)
{
//Find the jpeg file in the directory of the Mp3 File
//We will embed this image into the ID3v2 tag
FileInfo[] fiAlbumArt = MyFile.Directory.GetFiles("*.jpg");
if (fiAlbumArt.Length < 1)
{
Console.WriteLine("No Album Art Found in {0}", MyFile.Directory.Name);
return;
}
string AlbumArtFile = fiAlbumArt[0].FullName;
//Create Mp3 Object
UltraID3 myMp3 = new UltraID3();
myMp3.Read(MyFile.FullName);
ID3FrameCollection myArtworkCollection =
myMp3.ID3v23Tag.Frames.GetFrames(MultipleInstanceFrameTypes.Picture);
if (myArtworkCollection.Count > 0)
{//Get Rid of the Bad Embedded Artwork
#region Remove All Old Artwork
for (int i = 0; i < myArtworkCollection.Count; i++)
{
ID3PictureFrame ra = (ID3PictureFrame)myArtworkCollection[0];
try
{
myMp3.ID3v23Tag.Frames.Remove(FrameTypes.Picture);
}
catch { }
}
myArtworkCollection.Clear();
//Save out our changes so that we are working with the
//most up to date file and tags
myMp3.ID3v23Tag.WriteFlag = true;
myMp3.Write();
myMp3.Read(MyFile.FullName);
#endregion Remove All Old Artwork
}
//Create a PictureFrame object, pointing it at the image on my PC
ID3PictureFrame AlbumArt =
new ID3PictureFrame(
(System.Drawing.Bitmap)System.Drawing.Bitmap.FromFile(AlbumArtFile),
PictureTypes.CoverFront, "Attached picture", TextEncodingTypes.ISO88591);
myMp3.ID3v23Tag.Frames.Add(AlbumArt);
myMp3.ID3v23Tag.WriteFlag = true;
myMp3.Write();
myMp3 = null;
}
I'm at work and forgot to turn on Foldershare so I can't show you my trimmed down version where I pass in an Image object but this has everything you'd need to get the job done with a bit of hacking. Good luck.
