Many people want to enhance their MP3 collections by adding visual elements like album art, as it improves the listening experience by providing context to the music.
Mutagen is a Python module that offers a simple way to handle audio metadata, supporting various formats including MP3, FLAC, and others.
To set album art for an MP3 file using Mutagen, you need to install it using pip and then follow a step-by-step process, including importing necessary libraries, loading the MP3 file, setting the album art by reading and encoding an image file, and checking if the art was added successfully.
If Mutagen doesn't meet your needs, alternatives like eyed3 and tinytag can be considered for working with ID3 tags in MP3 files or reading metadata respectively.
