I tried mp3tag, and taghycardia, but they remove every tags not just album arts...

I need help in removing only the album arts...

iTunes can change album art without changing anything else.

 

[parthibanb88]

hai.. thanks for the reply....

If u have itunes plz try with the file in the link...

Why i am saying this bcoz, i used to change album arts easily.. with mp3tag when they show the album as 'cover'.. but for these files, they show it as empty...

If it is difficult, i could upload a mp3 file...

No links showing in your post. I am not sure if you can upload a mp3 file due to copyright issues, even in a zip.

Upload to dropbox/onedrive etc and send me a link in a PM, and I will check if I can do anything.

Ok, so this is what happened:

ITunes doesn't do the job.

While searching I found How to Remove Album Art Images Embedded In MP3 Files? - The Winhelponline Blog

The 2nd method leads to Mp3tag - Download

Download and install MP3Tag, open it
Drag and drop the mp3 files into MP3Tag
Click on the Title box of the mp3 in the list and then click Tag box. The warning in the TAG box will clear and the icon for file will be reset.

Hope this helps

here is what i got...

1. when i go to the folder, i dont see album art jpg by default. if i play the file in wmp then the file appears. when i close the wmp, the file disappears.. so i tried deleting the picture while wmp is playing the song. it gets deleted. but when i play again, the album art reappears.

2. mp3tag.. it shows no album cover related to the file... no front cover.. (you can see the vengaboys front cover in the left lower end of the box in the example. that box is empty for my song). But if i click 'remove tag' it removes all details, like album name, artists, etc, ofcourse along with the front cover. but i dont want the others to be removed.

i think, u got my problem... if you have windows, then you can try mp3tag with the mp3 file i uploaded. thanks.

I'd like to point out that you are mistaken about Taghycardia. it does not remove "every tags" - you mean whole tags, right? it just removes the images from the tags, optionally saving the pics as files. to strip out cover art from MP3s, you point the program to an mp3 folder, press "Remove Art", then "Apply Changes" - and voila, all art is removed.

hai ashley.. thanks for the reply..

when i try with taghycardia, i get this message... i have added screenshot...

it says no album art for that file...

But if you open the file in wmp, you can see it...

if u have tagychardia, then pls try downloading the mp3 i posted and check.. thanks..

Hmm, when I clean as I posted earlier, it doesn't come back when played in WMP

You can also select file in MP3Tag, open Album Artist on left pane and select <blank>, save (above disk icon)

@gokay,

I'm sorry.. i was not clear... what i meant was, after i delete the album art file, file does not reappear... but in wmp it appears... i tried even restarting... i have added pic..

tried your idea.. with mp3tag... it removes everything.. ie, album art pic, artist name, album name

 

[parthibanb88]

another sample...

now you know why i want to remove album art... his face is everywhere...

 

[GokAy]

Go to the 1st link I posted above and check method 1, maybe you are getting the album art from folder and not from the file itself. I don't get album art in WMP while playing.

Also, when you 1st put the file in MP3Tag it shows (!BAD ID3v2), perhaps the tags are somehow corrupt? It clears all because they are not read from the file in the 1st place.

Best is to just clear them and write again by hand, if they are not that many.

@gokay,

i am having 200 mp3s like that... so renaming individually is not an option...

when i open the folder containing mp3s, i see only some jpgs... ie, for 200 files i am having only 10 or so... so i think rest should be embedded.. for those 10 file which have album art as separate jpgs.. some work and some dont....

and i also got !bad tag for all files..

All work fine for me using MP3TAG except file 49 which is corrupt

Better get going, you got some editing to do

I put in some other mp3 files I had and all come up with their tags intact and no bad ID warning. So the program works alright and I believe these MP3s have non-standard tags.

Okay so bear in mind that I'm not an expert on the subject and I don't even use WMP preferring to remove it via add/ remove windows features.

I think the problem was solved already in this post:

Maybe read the rest of the thread too.

@danny,

here are my screenshots...




may be there was a problem with my download... i will try to re-download some files again and check...

 

[GokAy]

The same thing was discussed in my 1st link, 1st method. Difference was going into folder options and check/uncheck show hidden/system files etc.

 

[parthibanb88]

@callender,

I went through entire forum before posting...

In my case, files are embedded in mp3s... no separate jpgs... so that does not work...
