Remove all album art images in multiple mp3 from multiple directories in single process

Question

How to remove all album art images in multiple mp3 from multiple directories in single process?

Is there any web-utility /software that I can use ?

I don't want to edit single mp3 album art and save it.

Answer 1

Try eyeD3.

eyeD3 --remove-all-images */*.mp3

You could specify the directory further if required, this will just remove all artwork embedded in files in the current directory.

Answer 2

For Windows, there is a program called "taghycardia" that can do batch cover art removal from multiple mp3 files/folders without much hassle. It can also optionally extract the images into respective folders.

Answer 3

I love MP3Tag, one of the best utilities for what you're looking for.

Answer 4

I tried 3 programs on the 3 copies of an mp3 with album art image, all the 3 changed the file so that Totem media player did not display the image after, but:

• eyeD3 : commandline, the filesize remains the same !

• EasyTAG : slow graphical interface, resulting file is larger !!!

• Audio Tag Tool : significantly smaller filesize, responsive graphical interface, however it can only delete the whole tag (i.e. artist, title, album, etc, not just image), called "tagtool" in the ubuntu repo

All 3 have batch mode.
