eyed3: Set the front cover art for an MP3 file.
$ eyeD3 --add-image ${front_cover-jpeg}:FRONT_COVER: ${filename-mp3}
try on your machine

This command is using the eyeD3 tool to add an image (front cover) to an MP3 audio file. Here's the breakdown:

  • eyeD3: It is the name of the command-line tool being used.
  • --add-image: This option specifies that we want to add an image to the audio file.
  • ${front_cover-jpeg}: This is a placeholder indicating the location or path of the front cover image file in JPEG format. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual file path.
  • :FRONT_COVER:: This is the description or role of the image within the audio file. It is called "FRONT_COVER" in this case, indicating that the image is the front cover of the album or audio file.
  • ${filename-mp3}: This placeholder refers to the name or path of the MP3 audio file. Again, you need to replace it with the actual file path.

In summary, this command instructs eyeD3 to add the specified JPEG image as the front cover of the given MP3 audio file, with the description "FRONT_COVER".
