[ID3 Dev] Embedding Cover Art

[Hammond, Tony]

Hi Guys:
 
I know this is probably a FAQ somewhere but couldn't find it, but have been
tearing my hair out with Perl MP3::Tag module - great stuff, but for this
one detail: embedding a PNG file for cover art into an MP3. Code I have is:
 
###
 
my $mp3 = MP3::Tag->new($mp3_file);
$mp3->get_tags();
my $id3v2 = $mp3->{'ID3v2'} if exists $mp3->{'ID3v2'};
 
my $cover;
open F, $png_file;
my $filesize = (-s F);
binmode F;
read(F, $cover, $filesize);
close F;
 
$id3v2->add_frame('APIC', chr(0x0), 'image/png', chr(0x3), 'Cover art',
$cover);
 
###
 
I seem to just get a corrupted frame which then corrupts the other frames.
PNG file seems to be good as I write a copy out to disk and check that.
 
Any help very gratefully received.
 
Cheers,
 
Tony
