Dear Monks,

I am currently trying to retrieve the Album Art from my MP3 files using the module MP3::Tag.

I currently have the following code after reading the documentation : 

use MP3::Tag;
my $mp3 = MP3::Tag->new("E:/My Music/File.mp3") or die “Can’t open Fil
+e”;

# Get the tags from the MP3
$mp3->get_tags;

# Get the ID3 V2 tag where the picture is saved

$id3v2 = $mp3->{ID3v2};

# Get the APIC frame from the Tag (The Image) which
# returns a hash ref

$Pic = $id3v2->get_frame("APIC"); # returns

print "Content-type: image/jpeg\n\n";

print $Pic->{_Data};

[download]

If I just print $Pic->{_Data} to a text file with Binmode set, the file is not recognised as a valid image, however there is loads of binary data in the file.

My aim is for the script to return the Album Art image from a selected MP3 to the Browser.

I found the following documentation on CPAN http://search.cpan.org/~ilyaz/MP3-Tag-0.96/ID3v2-Data.pod but it only gives information on how to access the image data and not how to print it. I have searched the net and there is lots of examples on how to set the Album Art, but none to get it and print it to a browser.

Any one have any ideas / pointers?

Thanks,

Al
