id3v2 - cli unable to add image

Using id3v2 to add information to MP3 files, but I don't seem to be able to add the image using the --APIC flag, it doesn't fail but it doesn't add it either.

Info: running Ubuntu 14.04LTS & id3v2 (installed via apt-get);

id3v2 0.1.12
Uses id3lib-3.8.3

Here is the command I am running: id3v2 --APIC image.jpg ../tracks/track.mp3

Looking through the docs that looks to be accurate, but I am not getting the image added, so unable to see the album artwork in something like iTunes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • As far as I know, id3v2 cannot embed images in mp3 files.

    Looking at the source, it only prints information to the console, without doing anything else.
