Tools like Audacity or Handbrake are fantastic, but sometimes you just want to change a file from one format into another quickly. There are many open source tools out there for editing, tweaking, and converting multimedia into exactly what you need. To use this script to add a cover image to an ogg file: ogg-cover-art cover.jpg track. I cleaned up and wrapped that script into an easy-to-use Bash script. They present part of a script from a larger toolset that adds cover art to ogg files. This isn’t something easily done by hand, but after spending a lot of time trawling for an easier solution, I came across a Stack Exchange post from user Biapy. You have to use a certain tag and wrap the base64-encoded jpg in a special “frame”. In fact ogg does support album art, but base64 encoding isn’t enough.
If you Google a solution to this you’ll get a wide variety of answers ranging from “base64 encode a jpg and insert it as a tag” to “ogg doesn’t support album art, sorry”. Some GUI tools, like MP3Tag, do handle cover art, but don’t have a command-line interface. All the other tags seem to be preserved, but not album art.Īll the command-line tools used to edit ogg tags also don’t seem to handle album art. This is mostly a pretty smooth process, except for one hiccup: it seems that the command-line tools used to transcode music files don’t handle cover art for ogg files. I’ve recently been trying to script the process of transcoding some flac files to ogg.
